I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment with Xenon power supplies .... trying to get one to run my cinema 5

I have found that down in the vault we have a CLIMAX SILICON RECTIFIER MODEL 4000 (made is Brisbane).... Maybe I can use this.... I believe it came from a drive in several years ago and was put in to storage here..... However, I have no documentation on what all the connections are .... there is a terminal block as follows

| | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
N | N | 4 | 1 | 5 | int | int | rheo | rheo | rheo | rheo | sb | sb
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | |

Also, there is a large open-wound resistor with two sliding taps.....

Does anyone remember these supplies, and how to connect them?

To hazzard a guess it probably is a magnetic amplifier design (like the xebex/sanrex) and need a fair amount of external control
