Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Just curious, would you do a voltage check?

Andy, IIRC the transformer secondary was 125-0-125. As I understand things you have center tap isolated and are using the full secondary as one winding into a cap input filter. Don't know what you are using for a rectifier (please elaborate).

I'd like to know what the secondary voltage is (end to end) under load. It should be around 250 volts (AC). I'm guessing it might be a good deal less and that, rather than heat, might be a better indicator of over load. It would be nice if you could input a signal (play real music say) into the preamp when measuring this voltage.
