- I have an old TV power transformer that I am thinking about using as a plate transformer for a medium-power amplifier (2 x 813). It weighs between 15 and 20 pounds and the stack is 3.25" x 4.5" x 4".

- I used TV power transformers in the past when I was much younger. I usually got around 1200volts DC at 300 or so ma. MAX with a voltage doubler. These were black and white TV transformers, perhaps yo

- You might be pushing the insulation rating by more than a hair in either configuration, especially at the unused CT depending on how it is run internally. A hi-pot will tell you all the specifics. Th

- I'm replying to this particular message, but I want to thank everyone else who responded to my query, on and off list. The consensus of opinion is: 1) Forget the tripler circuit unless I want to use

- Vic, Yes - but the secondary isn't! Actually it's quite a bit over the edge! You are forgetting that doubling the current QUADRUPLES the power loss in the windings! That's OK only if you reduce the d

- Yes, you're right about doubling the current. I was definitely exaggerating! Trying to talk myself into it. You are right about shipping something that heavy by air! It would probably cost less to bu

- With this level of Ep I would consider 811As. I believe 813s work much better closer towards 3kvdc Ep. My Heathkit Warrior HA-10 project I am working on runs about 1600vdc on the plate and I am seein
