that I have. Sure wish that we could have been more helpful.... Just
remember that this is really Four power supplies in one case. Kind of a
strange way of doing things but, it works. If you have further questions?
Don't be afraid to ask. If I can't answer the question correctly, we will
make something up or lie to you about it!! hi .. hi ..*

Hello all,

I just picked up a Ten-Tec 420 Hercules II amp this past weekend with an
Astron RM-70 power supply.  Since the overload protection is in the Ten-Tec
power supply I would like to see what scheme TT used.  Whoever had the amp
before me did not include any overload protection not even a  lowly fuse.
  I have not been able to locate the schematic from the usual sources and
was hoping someone here had a copy.

The Herc II is also four power amps combined into a single input and single output. One way to run it is to use one big Astron for two of the amps and a second big Astron for the other two. It is critical that the sensing circuitry of the Astrons be connected together. I ran my Herc II this way for a while, with no issues. It's currently a spare amp in my closet.

73, Jim K9YC
