PY 81 as power rectifiers?

Thanks Terry.

Any pitfalls to watch for if the audio transformer is mounted away from the chassis completely? it would mean quite long primary connection wires to the anode (10 or 15 cm). Hum is hardly noticeable where it is, but it is noticeable.

But, on the other hand I don't want to mount it remotely, then find it needs to be mounted back on the chassis when its been wired and ruin it!

I don't think it would be possible to mount like you suggested as I've already blunderd into committing to a chassis design and hadn't considered magnetically coupled hum
