Is this PS list correct?
Note: The lettering only refers only to installation in a MS-3 or
RV-3,
there's no mention of a MS-4 or RV-4 (it lacks the early AC-3
choke).

(3) Resistors - 150K @ 1 watt
(2) Resistors - 200 Ohms @ 10 watts (in parallel) - R3

Don't waste money on those pcb rebuild kits.
?
I was able to put new (and cheaper) radial caps under the
chassis.? New caps are waaayy smaller!
?
See the photos of an AC-3 I rebuilt a few years ago.? The new
caps, diodes, etc. fit the existing
terminal strips like they were made for them.
?
And someday in the distant(?) future it will be easier to
replace the caps than it would be if they were
on a pcb.
?
The AC-3 has a big resistor.? It got too hot under the
chassis so I mounted it on top and made an
aluminum heatsink/safety shield over it.
?
Even though this was an early Drake supply, I paired it with
a TR-4C and it worked great.? The AC-3
is actually a better supply with its big choke.
