Sounds like there is something else wrong and the BR is taking the hit. TT
must warrantee the repair so they should fix it but I would look into what
may be causing it. Can you use a different supply and fuse it
conservatively? You may have a situation where you are getting current
peaks that can destroy a BR w/o taking out the fuse you are using.

Subject: [TenTec] Power Supply problem
HI,
A couple of weeks ago I wrote asking about a shut down in my 962 supply.
The responses I received all pointed to the bridge rectifier, which was
TT's diagnosis also. After a day and half of operation on the TT repaired
supply, I now have the same problem, a complete failure of the supply.
Someone mentioned a replacement bridge rectifier from RS, can someone tell
me the specs and or number for the part, since I'm reluctant to spend
another $70 for a possible fix.
Thanks,
Vince Santis, N1VS
