I recently bought a used 262G for a Triton, understand these older supplies with one pass transistor can fail, putting overvoltage to the radio. Until I can correct this deficiency, I'm reluctant to use the rig. Unfortunately, this Triton is the older variety with the Jones plug, so don't own a cable to let me power the rig from one of my other supplies.

Ten Tec no longer sells the OVP kit. I know the circuit is fairly simple, but evidently there are modules available commercially that perform the same function.

Would appreciate knowing what others have done to solve the overvoltage problem, wiring in a commercially available product is my preference.
