I have a Heathkit High Voltage Power Supply, IP-17 which I have totally restored. It has voltage and current meters so it would be easy to do.
I have a working T100 that came up on all original electrolytic capacitors. But I have not turned it on for about 8-10 years though. It was rather easy to get going.
