This existed only because I was uncertain as to the final power requirements of the system. After all, I expected to be using this system for a number of years, and I figured that I’d be adding more and more stuff to it, requiring more and more power, and I couldn’t figure out how to handle the variability. So I decided to feed the 120VAC into a pre-transformer that would lower the voltage a little, and should I need more power later on, I could increase the voltage going into the KIM-1 system. It was a stupid idea, but somehow I managed.
Here’s the exterior:
and here’s the interior:
Here’s the circuit diagram for this mess:
