Good cap reformer

[Yorkie]

I think this one is as straightforward a design as you are likely to find Rob, of which many have been built:

I built the one that was in Jun/July 2008 Radio Bygones, and later in the BVWS Bulletin, which is a little more involved. I wrote it up on this forum back in May 2011. You'll find the thread here:

http://golbornevintageradio.co.uk/forum/...hp?tid=620&highlight=Capacitor+Reformer

I've updated that thread to highlight the error in the original circuit as to the wiring of the digital panel meter and have also attached to the thread a diagram of the correct way to wire the meter so that it does not share a common ground with the rest of the circuitry. I've also added the link to the RS site where the MOSFET can be obtained, presently at a price of 67p + VAT etc. The price of the digital panel meter back in May 2011 was £6.69, but is presently only £4.69 post free.

The reformer has proved most useful and more than paid for itself.

Hope that helps a bit.
