Onderwerp: Looking for two DEC H445 power bricks for PDP 11/40 project
Hello list,
last year, I was able to obtain a BA11-F chassis for my PDP 11/40 build-up project. The
power supply to run a system in basic configuration is complete except for two H745 bricks
(delivering -15V) which are still missing.
I'd be very happy, if anybody could consider parting with one or two. Location is in
Germany. Please contact me off-list.
Thanks a lot in advance for anybody of you helping me to work towards a running my first
very classic PDP-11!
Best regards,Pierre

Hi Pierre,
As far as I know, the 11/40 uses only one H745.
And vague memory seems te recall that the -15V brick is an ?odd one?, because, unlike all
other bricks, it needs the +15V from the regulator that is inside the H742 block. But I
could be wrong ...
If you have a faulty H745, you can probably repair it. It is not too complicated, and when
you have a +24 .. 30V DC power supply on the bench (and possiby that +15V DC) you can
check the H745 out. It?s a secundary switcher, so safe to work on.
If you don?t have any H745, let me know. No promises, but I can check what I have on a
shelf (probably defective, but as said, they can be repaired).
Greetz,
