Need Help!- Power supply Purchase decision?

[DIYaholic]

I have an opportunity to purchase a Sorensen Power supplies Stm 24-21. I haven't found any useful info for it. I'm not looking to power a cnc with this as I'm assuming it is a test/experiment unit. I don't really need it, but if the price is right. Would anyone who knows anything about this unit be willing to clue me in, perhaps a link to a manual? What is the "market value" or reasonable price for this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Maybe I can snag it for $1.00 and then sell it to finance my cnc router build.

I really have no idea what to use it for(or how), mostly curious.

Thanks Al.

Looks like they are either give aways for $10-50 or high priced such as the $3k
mentioned by Al. Apparently the first # is the voltage, the second # the rated amps
so STM 24-21 would be 24VDC at upto 21 amps. One site listed them under
'obsolete power supplies'. Appears to have been a high $ supply when new, probably
with a lot of analog and simple digital circuitry inside.

sch,

Haven't had a chance to check in recently. I've been busy plowing every other day lately. Who ordered ALL this snow we've been getting?

Thanks for the info. The old addage is true... I learned something new today. I'll have to see how little the guy is willing to take for it.

Again, thanks for the lesson.

Randy,
