After many years of struggling with low HT and filament voltages and over heating power transformers, I have decided to look into the various factors the make a PT tick.

What I want is a power transformer that is silent, runs cool and delivers the filament voltage spot on at 6.3V and the specified HT AC voltage. If a tube rectifier is used, the 5V winding should also deliver 5V spot on. Can this be done? I think so; and this is how I do it. (I reserve the right to dump my method for a better method at any time :thinking:)

But first some  :coffee:
