I've come upon a very nice vintage Chicago transformer and choke set that features a 1000vac (CT) @125ma winding, a 470vac (CT) @100ma winding, plus 2x 6.3v and 2x 5v (no CTs). In addition, it came with 2x matching Chicago 8H chokes each rated at 125ma. Modeled in PSUDII as an LCLC, the 1000vac winding produces 412vdc using a 6ax4 rectifier and 2x 30uf caps. Ripple is .035A.
Of concern is the "125ma" rating of the PT and chokes, and the lack of center taps for any of the filament windings. I am assuming that the rating printed on the PT and chokes is based on a choke (LCLC) input PS. Is that likely a correct assumption? If so the transformer compliment suggests "300B" with separate PS for the drivers, assuming there is a solution to the "no CT" issue.
However, before I start accumulating parts for such a project, what other tube compliment might I investigate bearing in mind the voltage and current availability?
Also note that I am fully aware that these are old fashioned "high resistance" PS components, considered by some to be "low-fi". I don't wish to engage in that debate.
TIA.
Gary
