So....
600 VAC on PT secondaries thru IN4007 diodes, two pair, I get 285 VDC. Was expecting more like 400V, bad diodes?
Guess I'll take them out and see.
Anyone? Bueller??

Re: Rocket PS question
Yah. Should be over 400 no load?
I bet you must be right.

You are right!! No load no guts! Connected the PS caps and viola 400 Volts exacament!!
Something is popping fuses!! Gotta dig deeper yet..OT?? It's disconnected now.

Glad I could help telepathically. 
Re: Rocket PS question
Gentlemen
Mark you helped a lot with providing the layout for the 2 x EL84 rocket and inane questions I had about getting this thing going. Thanks much.
Miles, it sounds clean and clear with a bloom as the volume goes up. And it's LOUD! After only 5 minutes the Mrs said "turn that down!!" LOL...That's a good amp!
I'll play with it a little more and then take some measurement and see where voltages lie. It's a hotter PS 280-0-280 ala some Fowler builds and it's got nice clean headroom.
More to come...
