Help! identifying a switch Marconi TF2155 PSU
« on: March 01, 2018, 05:48:00 pm »
Hi to everyone! Recently i bought on ebay a marconi tf2155 PSU , the description was saying that it was broken... tested the main power transistor ..all good, tested the rectifying diodes.. all good it turned out that was a bad switch that remaind pressed....the  0-5V switch. after "unlocking" the broken switch and pressing the 0-15V switch the PSU started working.

the thing is that i need a new switch, so i'm searching for someone that could tell me if there is a specific name for this kind of switch.
go to the google drive archive for more photos : https://drive.google.com/open?id=18n2Ho19B9CXZ0o3cY24Ekjs6SUSyVk0B

BTW for the ones intrested in the specs it's a 0-60V 0.5A    0-30V 1A    0-15V 2A   0-5V 2A .....well it's a PSU from the 80' or the 70'. And maybe if someone stumble upon the manual while searching ...well fell free to send it because i couldn't find it.

If someone needs more info or photos feel free to ask

bye.

Marconi had a habit of re-badging power supplies from other manufacturers. Try searching for Weir 413.

Try this, half-way down this page is a link for the "Weir 400 series" - it might be close to your requirements.

Are there any manufacturers markings on the switch? Finding an exact replacement may be difficult.

Well thanks andy for your answer ... by finding the manual i was able to understand that the 5V switch when pressed suppress the control of the pot so you obtain a fixed 5V output.....well i dont really care of the fixed 5v output, and i can achive the 5V from the 0-15V range  :-DD so guess what ..that switch will remain broken, i bought the unit used and i don't have even the plastic caps.

Thanks again.
