Reply To: Stevens Power Supply

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

While I have never seen a Stevens opened up, I have successfully used a 7.5 volt laptop power supply so the battery is never needed. I hated wanting to use the machine and find the battery was dead. Never again… The latest power supply I found has multiple options for output. I checked the output at Tomahawk, just because… 7.69 volts…. tester runs fabulously…I currently have another iron in the fire. Replacing the vibrators, on the Model 98, 98A and 9800 Mercotronics with a NE555 timer. I have the timer, I have the schematics just need to finish up a few other odds and ends to get that iron started..

I really need to retire….lol 330 ish working days till I am free!
