Beyond installing your ECBS and parasitic suppression kits in an SB-220 and a Henry 2K-3 (both worked very well, thank you), the most serious project I have undertaken in the last 40 years is to take a perfectly good Alpha 76A and install a pair of 3CX800A7's in it and modify it for QSK.
Normally, my moto is "If it works, don't fix it." The 76A modification was a serious violation of my moto.
However, the thought of a light weight high voltage power supply for my Alpha does have an appeal, especially when I would like to take it on DXpeditions and international airlines are almost to the point of weighing baggage by the ounce.

Are you interested enough to build one?
My guess is that 6 of the Panasonic switchers would power an 8170 in
SSB-mode, especially if an energy-storage C bank was connected to the
output and the units were powered from a 50A electric range outlet.
