Witch power transformer should I use?

Post by austinb »

I have 3- 100 watt power transformers from organs I could use for the Dual Rectifier build. They don't have the 60VAC tap for +15V and - voltage for bias witch is modified for individual adjustment. I could figure the current the circuits will take and use a resistor and zener to precondition a tap off of one side of the high voltage. Switching works off of + and _ 3 volts derived from 6VAC. Witch should I use? A 360vac-0ac-360vac, 3.5vac-0-3.5vac, 5vac or a 330-0-330, 3.3-0-3.3, 5 or a 400-0-400, 3.2-0-3.2 ?[/img]

With apologies for being self serving here, I think this (my auction) is exactly what you need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0261497394
Get the right tool for the job. It won't take up much space on your chassis, and will greatly simplify what you need to put inside the amp. It's up to you, of course.

What kind of B+ are you looking for? Got a schematic? Skip
