[Amps] Fil transformer

[Kelly Taylor]

Hi Russ,

Thanks. Just to be clear, I do not require a transformer for providing filament power: it's to fix a design flaw in the Clipperton L, which lacks a centre tap for the filament windings and instead feeds the filaments with RF on one side only, introducing hum. 

The fix is to parallel a centre-tapped 6v transformer secondary with the filament windings on the main transformer and move the RF input to the new centre tap. 

The Hammond 166j6 is ideal, as it can be added with no metalwork, and you simply cut off and tape the primary windings. 



73, kelly, ve4xt,
