Has any one tried it?
I'm in the planning stage, thinking of using a Hammond H300519 power xfmr (500v ct, 100 mA; 6.3v, 3A; 5v, 2A) . I want a lesser diode, so I was thinking of a 6x4 or a 6ca4. The 6ca4 uses an amp for the heater, so it will use up too much of my 6.3v supply.
My experience with Hammond is that the heaters can be higher voltage, if not loaded with their rating. I want the power xfmr working hard, so I don't want to upgrade the iron. Thanks.
