In this vein, here’s a half-serious suggestion: put the white elephant power supply on a shelf until someone gives or lends you an oscilloscope. With it you’ll be able to see the input to and output from the supply as a function of time, and improve your understanding of AC, DC, rectification and filtering.
Good luck with any experiments you choose to do, and risk only those things you don’t mind destroying.

I don’t intend this as an insult but only a caution: it’s probably best you don’t experiment with what I would consider a valuable piece of hardware if you don’t know what you are doing and by that I mean if you don’t understand the requirements of the radio and safety constraints that need to be employed.
You might ask: How do I learn this?
