Two peas in a pod.

“When I showed Lou the contact sheets, he zeroed in on the transformer shot. I made the print myself - as I usually did in those days. The first test I made fell out of focus in the exposure. Lou loved the result. It took me twelve attempts to reproduce this accident for the final larger print for the album cover.”
Both are 60+ watt power supplies.

Switching power supply is basically frequency boosted transformers at a price on electromagnetic noise and reliabliliy. The old one is likely still working while the other may fail before 10 years
You’re absolutely correct! I just wanted to show what power supplies looked like back then and what it is now. The difference in energy density is unbelievable!
Most modern consumer devices can tolerate such voltage ripples from switching power supplies. Also, the only groups that I can think of who wants pure, no-noise power source are scientists and audiophiles.
I can’t complain about reliability, as the old power supply is STILL working. Old tech is just built different!
