We were discussing the Fisher 50a which is pretty similar to the 55a

The 55a uses GZ34s but can use 5V4s as well but also uses 6550/KT88s. Notice the .01uf cap going into the choke right off the rectifiers.Being it is so little,I don't think that can legitimately disqualify this from being a choke input circuit.I wonder its fundamental purpose because it's not going to remove any residual AC that would make any change in the DC voltage?

one 12AU7 triode as bias voltage regulator, posted on August 30, 2016 at 09:42:55 | |
Mike, how does the triode half of 12AU7 (V1B?) serve as a bias voltage regulator? Thanks! |

What is the mfd of that first cap (prior to the choke) in the PSU? Can't read schemo. Not clear on my screen (resolution-wise). |
