My friend obtained a 1000-VCT brute of a transformer, weighs 25 lb. Old Chicago
Transformer, potted, looks mil-surplus. I assume it was made for a choke-input
filter. He wants to use the full secondary with a full-wave voltage doubler.
This will be for a linear that will be used for continuous-carrier DSB AM.
Looks as though two chokes would be required? Thanks.
