Picked up a 30amp supply. Knew had at least 1 problem. Output was double voltage, showed 24volts. Figured 1 of the voltage regulators was bad and would be an easy fix.

Sure enough, 1 of the 7 regs. was bad. Replaced. Delighted to find normal output voltage in the 12v range but when tested under load the voltage dropped down to around 2 volts.

Any idea what to check next?
 

Are you sure that when whatever happened to it didnt spike any of the other regulators if its an older supply ide just repalce them all or work my way back from the one you replaced.
 
Weasel -

If the unit has an overvoltage protection circuit, maybe it was misadjusted by the previous user when the output went to 24vdc. Just a guess?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
