I recently picked up an old HP 6632B power supply to add to my electronics bench. It’s overall a nice supply, and is capable of two-quadrant operation so it’s useful for discharge testing batteries as well.
Unfortunately, the unit I got didn’t have front binding posts, and dealing with the leads coming out of the back of the unit is more of a hassle for my use case. Luckily a friend pointed me to another electronics hobbyist’s blog post talking about adding binding posts to the front of his unit as well. He was also kind enough to share the schematic for the version of the interface board he designed.
He’s got much better pictures than I bothered to take, so go check his post out if this is a mod you end up wanting to do yourself. I’m real happy I did.
