The Convertible Universal Multi-Tap Transformer...

Has anybody seen this guy??? Looks pretty cool to me! :twisted:

I'm thinking of using this in an plexi-based (albeit experimental) platform to try various B+ voltages, octal power tubes, rectifiers, etc.

Not too bad but 5V winding current rating of 1.9A is on the low side. 3A is more usable if you want to run a wider selection of rectifier tubes.

That's true... it won't support a 5U4, which requires 3a capacity. Wonder why they didn't cover that...
