What is it

I just purchased a pile of electronic gear. One of the items was the thing shown below. I believe the seller said it was a 350v power supply he built. What is it, how does it work, does it have value, could I use the parts to build an amp? The tube in it is a 5u4GB. The large capacitors are spragues. The transformer is a Standard Transformer PC8409. It does not seem to have any connections to hook anything to it. I have lots of tubes.

Umm.., 1 x PT, 1 x rectifier (tube), 2 x filter caps, 1 x HT choke, and a mains chord, switch, and pilot lamp - looks like a power supply. It should have a mains fuse (on the primary side of the PT) though, just to protect the thing from catching fire.

The guy that had all this equipment worked on shortwave radio equipment and I know he used this in doing that.

I also purchased a nice Hickok 533a tube tester which is what I was after along with a pile of tubes.

Yeah, power supply.

Parts.

The big caps are junk by now. Nice Amphenol octal socket just like Fender used in '50s tweeds.

It's an amplifier with the amplifier left out. :lol:

Specs:

350v-0-350v @ 80 ma.

5v / @ 2a so that 5U4G doesn't belong in there.

6.3v CT @ 3a.

Looks like I could use the parts in an amp build.

Yup. Two more tubes and you got an amp. Plenty of room in / on that chassis.

Lose the 5U4G, use a 2 amp rectifier like 5Y3, 5V4 or 5AR4.

Use a 6L6 because the supply voltage will be on the high side for a 6V6.

12AX7 for the preamp.

Did you get the dude's Greenlee punches?

No. Did not know anything about them.

What is a simple amp design that this transformer would go with?
