I checked the Stovebolt Tech Tips and they suggest i need a power supply. Will this one work for my 51 radio from my 6V truck? Of will this power supply not give me enough amps? Thanks

you can use a low tech battery charger rather than buying a dedicated limited use item, even just use a good battery for a short test [use an inline fuse] - you need about 5-10 amps max

Yep do like Bill suggests, just use your 6v battery. You can pick up a couple of pairs of alagator clips and some standed wire from the hardware or autoparts and make up a set of jumpers for your radios testing. That test bench power supply isn't rated high enough for your 6v radio work.
