Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Alternative

Ok, before they shoot me.

Get Two 12v Halogen desklights - cheap (they can be bought for around £5. so you should be able to get them for less).

Dismantle them - they will contain a 12V transformer each...

Now connect one 12V output to one 12V input. You've just made an isolation transformer with about 6dB greater isolation than a true isolation transformer. Then, use the EL84 filaments wired in series (requiring.. you guessed it 12V or so), and using a 12AX7 or suchlike with its series centre tap.. Low and behold, 1 HT supply, and filaments heated too.

Have fun
