Power Designs TP330 Power Supply

I decid­ed to take a gam­ble on pur­chas­ing a Power Designs Inc. TP330 triple out­put pow­er sup­ply. It was a bit rough look­ing with a bunch of stick­ers on the front pan­el, but no scrape marks from past stick­er removal vis­i­ble. The sell­er stat­ed that the bot­tom ana­log meter was non-func­tion­al, but the out­put ter­mi­nals mea­sured volt­age that changed with the volt­age knob.
