RE: Q: When is Full-Wave not Full-Wave?

The H/K Cit. 2 has the requisite copper mass in the rectifier winding and does exhibit low copper losses. Remember, higher AWG needed, but fewer turns.

Stu Hegeman called for series wired pairs of "top hat" diodes in the "Duece". In their day, those diodes were about the best available and they were expensive.

We take 1000 or greater PIV for granted, these days. Stuff like that did not exist in 1960.
