This old Paco B-10 battery eliminator and charger has two outputs
One labeled as special low ripple output

So I turned it on and connected my scope to check it out

On the special low ripple terminal

Seems like people could make bad stuff look really good with a few different settings...or vice versa 🐱

I take it that the 'normal' outs have higher current capability?
The ripple is kind of odd looking, is it giving the correct DC voltage?

I don't doubt the pics look strange I usually have to take like a dozen pics some time because my phone will only capture a partial graph for some reason

The "Low Ripple" output utilizes an LC circuit.
The "Normal" output does not use the 'L' (inductor).
