Rohde & Schwarz NGL 20 3-channel PSU

Post by BU508A »

Hello,

some time ago, this 3-channel PSU from Rohde & Schwarz appeared on my doorsteps.
It is a NGL 20 from around 1974. Every channel is capable of doing 0 to 20V and 0 to 600mA.
This is ideal for tinkering around with OpAmp circuits.

It is heavy for its size, the case is made of 1mm steel so very sturdy. Still, don't let it fall on your toes.

On some electrolytics a date code 12/69 was visible, so capacitor replacement time it is.

But now for the pictures (for a bigger size, right-click on the picture and open it in a new tab):

Other transistors are BC107 and BC177 so not the newest ones around. :D

I have ordered the manual with the schematics for this PSU.
Will scan it and upload it here.

That's all for now, see you all next time!
