You can also use 1n242 from Amplimo: http://www.amplimo.nl/index.php?page=sh ... 34&lang=en

I build 4 units with it. They all work fine.

Presumably EI laminations rather than toroidal since it's rectangular, or is it encapsulated?

Is the secondary 135-0-135?

OK this may explain why transformer or the commonly accepted English abbreviation XFRM has changed to TRAFO (German translation).

With all respect to Nikola Tesla, I'll continue to use XFMR. for the same reason why I use eight instead of ocho.
