Hello friends! I have this XT clone power supply, it's in really rough shape with lots of rust on metal parts. I cleaned it up pretty good, also removed all the dust and tried it out.
It puts out solid 5.1v on 5v rail and -5.1v on -5v rail. But it only puts out 9.6v on 12v rail and -8.1v on -12 rail.
I assume that's not good if I plan to use 5.25", 360KB DS/DD floppy drives, but probably fine if I use 3.5" drive as 720K DS/DD.
Did anyone see something like this happen? Should I recap it? Replace voltage regulators for 12v and -12v rails?
Thank you for your help!
