Thanks for the assistance and suggestions. It is indeed a linear power supply and I have detected at least one bad transistor (no base/emitter voltage). As it is very old I will probably replace the electrolytic capacitors too as they look a little worse for wear.

I purchased a bench power supply, Electro Industries model 3002A, from a ham at a swap meet. It was supposed to be working but it is not. Does anyone have a schematic for this? Contacting the manufacturer, who was very helpful, I found out that my power supply is very old using only transistors and no IC's. They no longer make this product with just transistors but make a newer version with IC's. They gave me the schematic for the newer model but it is of no use as mine is so old they did not keep any schematics for it. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a schematic.

I am new to ham radio, only discovering it in 2010. If I had known how technical it can be I would have joined 50 years ago, or even longer (I will be 68 in a couple of weeks). Knowing that I had a lot to learn and no one to ask about it I opted to take all the licenses as soon as I could. So I now have my extra license and have more questions than a playground of kids. However, I suspect that because I am older people assume that I know a lot about ham radio. This is not the case and I am learning as fast as I can, mostly by myself. I belong to 2 radio clubs; one is very active and the other appears to be dying. The people in both clubs are very nice (for the most part) and I enjoy their company, especially when technical things are being discussed.
It is difficult to determine what I would want in a club as I am so new to this hobby but I can come up with a few ideas: regular meetings, technical presentations or discussions, social interaction, a look at someone else's shack and watch how they operate their radios, ideas for antennas in restricted areas (I now have 7 books on antennas), no politics (probably unrealistic), activity of more than one or two members in helping to run the club, some sort of newsletter (could be web-based).
I do plan on being very active and trying to revive the one club that is in decline but I need more information and experience than I possess to do this.
Yesterday I joined the American Legion as I offered to run their ham shack for emergency purposes and try to get some scouts involved. This is going to be a big challenge for me as I have extremely limited air-time and I am going to need help. However, what I lack in knowledge I will make up for in enthusiasm. If I could just get one young person interested in ham radio I will be very happy. My goal is certainly a lot more than one.
Sorry I rambled on a bit here.

Thank you all for your sage advice and other comments I found them to extremely helpful.

I am very new to ham radio and have been researching a suitable radio for a base station and possibly to use with ARES. Looking at the Yaesu FT-897D but notice it has been on the market for 8 years. Is Yaesu likely to offer a newer model in the near future?
