This sounds a lot more achievable.Dr Tony Balls wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 12:03 pmLooking at this again, the rectifier looks essentially like two full wave rectifiers, with one being for the positive rail and one for the negative. Doing the math hre i'm coming up with a 25-0-25 transformer giving you +/- 34.25 V. So I think I concur with the 50V assessment.
I think this one fits the bill, no? I think I can connect the two secondary's to create a centre tap.

We haven't, but we should. That looks awesome! I remember when they were first developing them over on the PRF (you were there the same time I think Tony) and was super happy when they came out.Dr Tony Balls wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 12:51 pmHave we talked before about the Rusty Box I built into a tube amp for one of the Tronographic guys?
