Hi Guys
The 01A tubes in the American sets actually use 5 volts, its recommended to use 6 volts to allow for the voltage drop, I've also got some sets that use DE5's that are 5 volt.
I have had a look and I have got a 9 volt one - again no VA rating on it but it weighs 4.2 kilo so maybe 30va. I will strap the two secondary's together again and that should do fine.
I don't get the 4700uf though as I have looked at loads of circuits on the web and they all use 470uf
I've already got a home built battery eliminator that works fine for LT, HT and GB - this is just a simple 6 volt LT only for my American battery sets - I've got about 8. They knock spots off the UK ones of a similar period.
I have included a circuit that I was going to follow but use my bridge and regulator as they take more amps. Is the increased amps why I need 4700uf?
