I need to cobble together a good power supply one of these days. I built a kit from AES in the 90s but it never worked right and I finally junked it. My lack of understanding of solid state circuits doesn't help.
I do have at least a couple farm sets that I have brought back to life. One is a Sparton, the other an Airline. I have some batteries I've built in cigar boxes for when I want to play with them. Recently I aquired a neat set, another Airline that is a convertible so that when the REA came to the farm it could be switched from battery to AC with a flick of a switch. (at least, I guess that is how it works-I haven't dug into it yet) I have picked up some respect for these farm sets. Usually a nice, big cabinet on the table models, but with just a tiny chassis. Good thing is that chassis makes them easy to work on.
