I have repaired 2 of this series so far, a 12A & a 24A model.
These are complex linear PSUs & use some unusual design features....
Short circuit current fold-back to 10A
Current limit @ 24A
Temperature limit trip
Over voltage limit @ 14V
Over voltage Crowbar @ 14.5V
Negative rail regulation
Earthed 2N3055 collectors
Current copiers extend current to 24A.
BLOCK SCHEMATIC (no diagram hence reverse engineered)

INPUT
The huge mains transformer's 2 secondaries each feed a bridge rectifier & then
on to each side of the capacitor bank. The +ve side is the + output in this
design, but it goes through several PCB links!

CONTROL CIRCUIT
Three opamps are used in the linear regulator in a cascade set up. IC1B
monitors the temperature & it's output together with a overvoltage sensing
transistor affect the current limiter opamp IC1C. This in turn offsets the
voltage setting pot on the voltage control opamp IC1D to affect the current
limiting.
The voltage reference zener D6 is initially powered via R17 & filter R15 & cap
C8 to delay power up, then from the output (D7 & R6) this gives the reduced
fold-back current on a shorted load, Voltage Opamp IC1C compares this reference
to the output sample from voltage setting pot P4. IC1D operates PNP TR1 to
drive the 2N3055 pass transistor TR2 to deliver up to 6A.
When 6A is reached in TR2, the voltage across R12 is compared to the value from
P2 by IC1C & it's output falls, -ve voltage is feed into P4 to reduce the
voltage & hence limit the current.
When too hot the voltage across D2 (by TR2) exceeds P1 setting & opamp IC1B
output goes high & this feeds IC1C to stop the output.

PROTECTION
Addition over voltage limiting circuit using TR9 shuts off the drive if output
rises above 14V. If there is no control due to a blown up pass transistor, a
SCR crowbar circuit will short the output as well (no fuse so destroying the
pass transistors?)
Warning due to the SCR crowbar, do not connect an unfused battery!

Several caps are across the output as well as a 7W load of R10, these soak up
any sudden changes in the loading.

IC1C
pin8
The -Ve going output of current Opamp IC1C that is also operated on over Volts
& Temperature, has just enough current to light the RED LED via the 1k & 470R
on doing so the GREEN LED goes out. The GREEN LED only lights if the +13.5V
output is good enough. All but the 1k are mounted to outside of the output
terminals with tight holes drilled for the LEDS, & +13.5 & 0V soldering to the
u1 cap leads that are across the terminals.
REPAIRING
Burnt out base emitter Rs means a 2N3055 is dud & has lost it's emitter
connection & it's driver will needed testing too.
This design is not that easy to work on you do need a flexible shaft 8mm
spinner!

Feet Transistors Feet Plan View
The 4 pass transistors are bolted on the underside with 2 sets of nuts, one to
hold transistors & internal heatsink to the case (no insulation kit needed in
this design!), & the 2nd set with washers holds the PCB in place. But the PCB
can only be removed after the 2 rectifiers have been moved out of the way.
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
