sorry for the bad rez pics im using the cam on my phone becase i left my good cam in my roadcase at the club where i work(doing video and lasers)

look at the meters,the one with the multicolor squares for the tube voltage range is a krypton psu ie tubes have a best pressure for the reds, yellow is different, blue likes less magnet etc. The other one looks like it has a all green rectangle in the cell pix (cant really tell) That is a argon supply. 50/50 chance if it has the multicolor squares it has a pressure control card. If you had a pressure pump head, people here would kill for it, as it could do whitelight with NO argon.... A very special kind of whitelight, laserium whitelight, ie a 4 scan head red, yellow, green, blue, projector.

Yes, some older SP kryptons had a built in pump and could go up or down in gas pressure, unlike modern tubes that can only fill. You do not want to hook a argon to a pressure control psu without disabling the pressure card. Oh heck, never trust a autofill anyways, and the first thing you do when starting these up is unhook the fill plug in the head.

A argon will run off a kr psu if it has a normal fill circuit. Just the pressure markings on the meter will be wrong.

So as far as I can tell, between your phone pics and my old eyes, the only NON FACTORY thing on the psu is that added on box over the control card access panel. all the knobs are there. All the switches are there.

Shoot pics of whats in the box, the control card , and the wires between the two and we'll go from there. please use a real camera :-)

ok so here is whats behind the box and the inside of that box

[VJ AIWAZ]

ok here is a pic of each meter they are the same

Ok, thats not bad, two couple of high voltage relays for external start and on/off control and a few other wires, probably for system status and a input for power level. That is a normal control card. That is not that bad to have to hack, especially if you have the card rack that controlled it, and you do. Can you get a closeup of the writing on the tops of the long black potted boxes, ie the relays in the little metal box.

sorry it says amf its the same logo of that company that ruined harley back in the 70's

and it also says 10va 12v dc

and a diagram of the relay

10VA will be the contact rating, now we gotta find the coil ratings. could be 12V


(or measure the coil ohms with a voltmeter)
