Looks like a Samlex PS. But there are different versions and the small one wonīt work with a tire truer.
Do you have specs from the PS?

Radio shack is 25amps at 13.8volts +/- .5

my Radio Shack ps came at 14.2v. opened it up, adjusted the pot..and brought it down to 13.8 so my motor checker would work properly.

i use it to power two fans, two recordbreak chargers and a motor checker at the same time.

So itīs the bigger Samlex. Very good PS. I also adjusted the output voltage but down to 13V as this is really high enough for the charger for working properly. Also doesnīt get that hot with the lower voltage.

Default Building a power distribution box.

John & Jaybee, Any tips on building one of these other than the obvious Radio Shack parts(terminals, project box, switches).

Any help with the internal wiring would be appreciated.
