>>ARBE III is complete overkill for a 1940s era farm battery set
So it might be, however often times the power supply like this one is bought to rotate between radios. Otherwise you have to buy one for eachset/group of sets, and should you have more than 3-4 different types (OK, AK10 and that 1940s set), you now have to buy at least two. At $150-200 a pop that gets costly.
And the rest of those in these links above, they are comparable to ARBE price-wise. While having less convenient connections.
I also believe, from the pictures, the middle one is DCDC switcher (or it looks like it). Which might be just fine, depends on who made it and how.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
