If the reading is below 4.8V (and your Voltmeter reads accurately), you

are into 'problem' territory. Possibly, the power supply is being overloaded by

Slot cards; or, it may have developed a defect.

A different approach is to disconnect the power supply from whatever it's

powering. Connect or clip on a load-- like, say, a 20 watt 3 Ohm resistor--

from +5V to GND and measure Voltage across where the clips connect to the power

supply. (3 Ohms connected with good heavy clips will draw about 1.7 Amps.) If

the power supply is a typical Apple II power supply it should have no problem

delivering +5V into this sort of load.

Note: In general, you want to measure output as close to the power supply as

possible. Clips often introduce resistance and so measuring across the load

resistor could indicate a falsely low output.

Note: Switching power supplies should not be turned ON with no load. Something

like at least 10% of rated load should be connected across the the high-current

output (usually +5V) whatever other outputs you are checking. For an Apple II

power supply, this would be something like a 20 watt 10 Ohm resistor. For

larger switching power supplies such as used in a PC, you may need to place a

load across other outputs, too. (Usually, for a computer power supply, this

would be the +12V output.)

A really good load test needs to pull current reasonably close to the

rated output of the power supply for the Voltage leads you are checking. Like,

for a power supply rated at 4 Amps on the +5V output, you would want something

like a 1.5 Ohm load connected from the +5V output to GND.
