Todays toy - Elmac PS-2V

[N1ESE]

FedEx just delivered me an Elmac PS-2V power supply that I plan to use with an AF-68 transmitter that should be arriving "any day now".  It is very clean and includes the CFS-1 cable and PTR-1 relay kit.  It has had one mod done to it however.  Someone has added another 6.3V filament transformer under the hood and a 3-prong male connector to the CFS-1 cable,  Have not investigated the reason for both of these yet.

Update on my PS-2V..
 
The relay kit installed is not the original PTR-1 kit that was put together by Multi-Products.  This relay is a Western Electric 24V unit where the original supplied was a 24V Potter & Brumfield unit.  The relay is supposed to be powered by the 24V tap coming off the filament transformer.  However, this installation is powered by the dedicated 6.3V transformer that has been mounted to the top of the plate tranny.  There are then three diodes and a big 1000 uF capacitor in between the 6.3V tranny and the relay.  I don't understand why it was done like this at all.
