splitting ac and dc on 6vt supply

Post by andrew »

Hi all, I could use some help on this please. I would like to run the power tubes on 6v AC but also run one preamp tube on 6v DC. How do I do this?
Thanks for any help.

bolt a 25v bridge rectifier available at Radio Shack to the chassis and connect filament wires to the bridge rectifier to convert from 6VAC to DC.

Usually one would do this right after the power tubes to run DC to the preamp tubes. Refer to the PDF attached.
