Hi, all.

I don't know whether it's because of being jolted around in the move or 
what, but my trusty metered Astron RS35 power supply seems noisier than it 
used to be.

It still works fine, but seems to have a louder hum than it used to have.

I have it set up in exactly the same way I did out in Colorado, on the top 
shelf of a sturdy ham operating desk.  I even put some padding underneath 
the supply, but it really didn't seem to do much.

I suppose I could take the cover off, and try to feel around to see what 
might have happened, but I know there are some electrolytic capacitors in 
there that would not make for a pleasant experience if they were 
accidentally discharged.

If anyone has had this experience, and has any suggestions, please let me 
know.

Again, the supply still works fine;  it just lets me know it's around more 
than it used to.  (smile)
