Thanks for the assist Lou.
Dropping the 'e' from their email address produced the same results.
Possibly they don't want email???

Hi Richard,

I have heard that Astron is very tight-lipped about tech info for their
power supplies. It isn't just Astron, however. I have a Magnetech RV
converter (a switching supply used to provide 12VDC for an RV), which is
rated at 55A @ 12V, which I was interested in using as a shack power
supply. I emailed the company, and the only thing they told me about it
was that that it would work OK without a constant load on the supply,
and that all schematics, parts lists, and circuit descriptions were
"proprietary information"!

I have bought several differant kinds of the Astron linear supplies and they
all come with a schematic. They just have minor changes of the standard
lm723 type supplies. I have not seen the switching supplies so can not
comment on them. I just don't like the switchers. Not as simple to repair
as the others and some can generate RF noise.
