hi!
I've acquired a 5140 in bad shape and missing the battery/power supply.
I've cleaned it up as best i can and I'd like to power it with what I have here. Yes, I've ordered a NOS (hopefully!) 15v 5140 power supply that'll be here in a couple weeks.
So!
* can I run it without the batteries installed?
* what's the minimum voltage I can supply it and have the thing come up?
I tried a regulated 12v 5A supply but it will just beep once with the boot-up beep, then go dead. I'm guessing power-good isn't very good
thanks!
