- Henry radio runs the filaments in their amplifiers with the filaments in series. There is no center tap on their filament transformers. They use a small choke hooked to the "center" of the 2 tubes. T

- If you nean to HV negative, ok. You can also construct a 5v/60Hz center-tap choke/auto-trans on a high-mu ferrite core. It does double duty by carrying the cathode current to HV neg. - later, Roy. -

- Hi Pat, The answer to your question is Economics. Running legal power with 4 tubes rather than 2, means you would probably never need to buy replacement tubes. 4 tubes should give a lifetime of servi

- Sure, two of the 3-500Zs will produce legal power. Under normal cndx never you'll need any signal amplfication. I'm interested on technics, experiments, constructions and homebrewing. I guess that is

- Well, Pat, I don't want them. It was someone else who posted the original question. A tube with handles is the proper way to go about producing illegal power! That is, if someone were so inclined. Ha
