Hello All,
I decided to complete my conversion to an audiofool and power up my amp. I found a large +12-0--12 with no markings (see pic) but it was big and heavy and I didn't think it would draw much current. I also found a 12V DC wall wart for the heaters. It was not regulated but on load it red 12V. The amp works pretty well. However, based on what was said previously about what the valves were doing I thought I'd switch off the heater supply. So what happened when I switched off the heater supply? Well I though I might leave the answer and see If I got any suggestions.
Regards,
Ken.
