Hickok PS-505

Hi everyone!  New member here building a bench focused on tube amps and vintage gear.  I purchased a Hickok PS-505 today and I’m having trouble finding any information about it.  I seriously need a manual and schematic.  I read online it was a tool used in digital gate training, but it looks like a tube amp power supply to me.  It’s solid state regulated, It has a 12.6VDC center tapped section, a 6.3v section, a variable 0v to 40v section with variable current limiter, a variable 0v to 400v section, and a 0v to -100v section.  It seems like the ultimate DC power supply for a tube amp bench, but I am pretty new to this so I may be mistaken.  Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Hi, here is a schematic that seems to be what you are looking for :  apparently is the right one but you are going to verify that yourself as I don’t have a PS505 to compare it with:

Thanks!  I was able to to find a free PDF of the manual and schematic for the Stark PS-506 through information I found on the link you provided.  The units are identical so I should be in pretty good shape.
