Finally, last winter I ordered and received two AT-040L output transformers but had to send them back as the published dimensions were much smaller than they were in real life. I just noticed they still did not change it! They are actually over 5 inches in diameter.
Two lessons I learned here: 1. Call and talk to John Ango and verify what you are getting both electrically and physically before ordering and, 2. Always plan your chassis layout after you get the parts.
Antek does have the AN-4TK360 and 400 with bias taps and you can get either a 6.3CT and 5V or 6.3CT and 6.3. Just talking with John might not get you the proper transformer. Twice they sent me the wrong one.
You could probably use a AN-2T350, it'll do 350 volts at 500ma. But you'll need an extra 6 volt transformer. Antek's 6 volt transformers are actually a little under 6 volts. The biggest is 2 X 6V at 4.2A, loaded it is 5.7 volts, unloaded it's 5.9 volts. Just half a volt more would be great. Also Antek's most powerful 5V transformer is a 2 X 5V at 1A.
At first I wanted to be a ET. Now I are one.
