Adjusting a Magnatec 950 converter
I have an old Magnatec 950 converter that is slowly losing its charging voltage. 11 years ago it used to charge at 13.6v or so and is now down to 13 v. can these old converters be adjusted? Manual say...

The 950 is a switch mode unit not ferroresonant.
A critical issue is whom is going to rebuild this unit if and when the OP goes to do something about it? I do like the low ESR Panasonic capacitors. Their 30,000 hr rated lifespan at 150c sure impresses me.
Umm, no, that's a ferroresonant model, been around since the 1970s. Has a transformer, 2 rectifier diodes and a capacitor on the resonant tank winding. Weighs a lot , is noisy, doesn't actually put out dc voltage, but is near bullet proof.
