I use a Astron SS-30M {M is for meters} for my Omni VII. Works just fine. While looking for another concern I did, however, found a small assembly problem inside the power supply. At the point the wire lugs were attached to the back side of the DC power terminals I found that nice nickel plated nuts and lock washers were not tight. This produced a minor voltage drop but only on peak loads and was not observed on the front panel meter as it is before the connectors.

Additionally, I added a nice ground lug to the chassis, although the DC negative is connected to the chassis. I added a 0.01 mf cap mounted using some internal tooth solder lugs across the DC output connectors. This solved some minor issues that I have previously observed.

In re-assembly of the case, I noted that the paint on the base panel and the paint on the top cover did not appear to allow for good connection between the top cover and base. A bit of sandpaper used around the screw holes on the inside of the top cover and at the screw holes on the base plate corrected the concerns.

I believe the 963 is the same as the Astron SS-30.  The SS-30 schematic
can be downloaded from several places on the internet.  (

According to the Astron website it does have overvoltage protection.
