Hey guys,
I'm moving into the world of tubes...have done a lot of house wiring, tube amp mod/repair and projects like that, so I am pretty aware of how to work safely (as one can be). I'm thinking about a Tube Reactor project, and want to cobble a power supply together for tube experimentation - not sure about buying a nice Hammond dual-secondary transformer until I make something permanent.
So, I have a nice tranny my buddy gave me. 110 p, and a couple of secondary taps offering 220 and 440v. This thing can put out mucho amperage (fused to 1A tho), and these ckts require very little. If I tie into the 220, there's the B+. Can I put a little RS transformer in parallel with the big one from line voltage to get my heater supply? I have a 6.3-0-6.3, can regulate the 10-something post-rectification voltage to 6v.
How would I tie them together & establish a ground point? It seems like a good idea, but I don't want to go trying things at those voltages and potential currents without a direction, you only get 1 shot with this stuff!
Thanks
