A brute force line filter for the power line. In older versions of the ARRL handbook a circuit was published for years which was simple to build in an evening. I built and used them with early computers....which were massively sensitive to power line noise ! Worked very effectively.

If you don't have an old handbook I bet someone here does and can offer a scan of the page with the circuit. It had two choke coils that you wind, and 5 or 6 common capacitors, as I recall it.

Good afternoon all,

Here is a powersupply problem that needs a neat fix.

When my wife runs the highspeed washing machine, the whine and hum goes up
and down and also off and on when I am on my trusty Delta II.  The power
supply is the # 936.  Grounding all around.

When I run my old Drake, with AC-4 power supply - theer isn't a hum or
whine. (My gues would be the L-C filters on both neg and pos AC Lines.

Suggestions Please.
