Jochen,
expect a little more here: the transformer in a PDP-11/34 feeds up to
four bricks (depending on whether core memory needs the 20V supply, or
whether battery backup is present) and some small scale stuff, and each
of these bricks does about 150W or more of _output_ power (e.g., 20V/8A,
5V/32A, 15V/10A, ...).
So, with a combined output of more than 600W, I'd expect the transformer
to do something like at least 750VA. Even more, considering its
weight... ;-) - If you need to lift the box without help, grab it from
the back side, where the transformer is.
Talking about power supplies in the 11/34: the power distribution board
was modified when the 5V/32A regulator bricks were introduced because
the original version couldn't handle the current: it was designed for
the former 25A bricks. I don't have the part numbers at hand right now
(they're on microfiche at home), but can look them up if you need them.
Just in case: I seem to remember that there are several of those bricks
sleeping in a dark corner of my basement, so if you have no luck fixing
yours, let's try to make a deal. Good luck anyway!
Regards,
Andreas
