Hi Richard:

Yes it is the IP-32 NOT 23...typo on my end.

Tnx for the info and links. If the Xfmr is in good condx, looks like I have 
a winner.

| An excellent buy, Rich assuming it was an IP-32 400V regulated DC
| supply.  The 6L6GC pair in the IP-32 are worth what you paid all by
| themselves.
|
| The IP-32 and the near identical PS-4 and the low-profile IP-17  are
| some of the handiest pieces of BA test gear on my bench.  The circuit
| is identical or nearly so in all three.
|
| Pix of the three are at the bottom of my Kepco 605 page.

|
| The high-value resistors around the 6U8 control tube tend to drift a
| bit.  Not a problem unless the high and low pots can no longer make
| up the difference.  There is also a cap on that tube that upsets the
| stage if it is a bit leaky.  Clean the pots, the main voltage
| control, the three position AC switch and the sockets for the 6X4 and
| 6U8 with deoxit or equivalent.  (And be careful in there, the
| negative 6X4 supply and the positive supplies add up to about 1000
| volts.)
|
| Manual is on BAMA.  I use mine to reform caps, power Transoceanics
| with DC for testing, etc, etc, etc.  Often use a 50 mA night light in
| series for visible fuse.
