Hi, new guy here! Great forum!
This is my first dtyle build and i may need some help along the way

First
I use Hammond 290FEX PT and Classictone OT.
I have Hammond 266M5 also here .. so can i use it for relays?

Hi Hotob,

with the Hammond 266M5 in the original circuit the voltage is too low for the LM7812. You could use a different circuit – a voltage tripler, or a LM7806 with 6V relays.

Thanks Victor..
I have 5V relays... is it ok with LM7806?

Welcome! I'm sure you will get plenty of help with your build here so solder away with confidence.

edited - saw you have a Classictone OT which is a great choice - first read it as Cxxxxriatone, which is a different animal...

Hotob,

voltage regulators are available with almost every wanted output voltage. So for 5V relais I would suggest a LM7805, althought most of the 5V relais will operate with slightly higher coil voltages (up to ~7,5 VDC).
