I came by what appears to be a power supply module from some old
military gear. It uses a synchronous vibrator unless my analysis of
the circuit it way off. My plan is to build a circuit to replace the
vibrator with a couple of power FETs driven by a 555 osc and a bridge
rectfier to handle rectification of the output. I was wondering if
there were any circuit designs around before I started to reinvent the
wheel. Also what freqency do they use. Seems like I heard 100Hz at one
time but I dont trust my memory on something I learned 40 years ago.
Any help would be much appreciate.

I believe that military equipment was 400 hz...

(if so, the xfmr would not be usable at 60hz)

If it's in working condition it would be easy enough to check.
