How do I hook up this PT

Post by menger66 »

I pulled this from a reel to reel it ran 2 12ax7 6aq5 and a ez80, but there's no high voltage center tap I'm hoping I can use a tube rectifier these is a extra 6.3 filaments I just don't understand how they did it. Mark

Full wave bridge (diode) rectifier maybe?
See the attached for a couple of examples.

Could it be that the original circuit was half-wave rectified?

With only 50ma that's gonna be tuff, I would thing about may be a ECL82!
