also the 6106 looks like a possibility, but they are listed (by AES) as a 5Y3-wgt... so you would have to be sure you got the right one... but they may be easier to find...dave

Thanks Dave,I was talking to one of our older engineers (who probably thinks I'm nuts..."just use a resistor") and he suggested a hum pot also. He thinks that with a good quality CT 5v tranny, there might not even be need for it. The tranny I was using had no CT and that's why I simply grounded on side and had all that hum.
Gotta run again,
Tom
ahhh that changes things a bit :-)
another thing to try is a pair of say 5 ohm WW resistors in series across the winding and ground the "virtual" CT... you could even size theseresistors to load down the trannie a bit and drop your filament voltage below 5V and get a larger bias???lots of things to explore here.. have fun!
