Power transformer for a 120V and 220V, 50/60Hz. line to 400V at 70mA center tapped and 6.3V at 2.5A center tapped.
Thinking about a 1626 build... If I go with the first, I guess I just put jumpers in the right places and feed AC straight to the heaters? Does anyone see this as a problem? I suppose I should go look at the datasheet for the 1626 and see what they say. Oh, I see. It's an indirectly heated tube. I don't know why I thought it was directly heated.
Of course, if I use the second transformer I might have easier options if I ever want to try tubes with 6 volt heaters. Two and a half amps should be enough to light up a pair of 6L6G, or more than enough for a pair of 6V6GT.
If anyone wants to chime in with ideas for the 6L6GC option, don't be shy. Is half a 'SL7 really going to have enough drive for a 6L6GC?
