B+ dropping zener - Champ got diode rectification now

[Dave H]

A 1k resistor used in a pi filter arrangement should drop about 50-55V. I didn't even do any math for this. I just plugged the values into Duncan PSUDII.

I must have been half asleep. I didn't see the posts below #9

I just remember 1k drops 1V at 1mA so 1k at 50mA drops 50V
