I was curious, so I scribbled it out, it looks like the full-wave doubler shown here:

with some added decoupling/filtering,

Naturally, it has the same problem that all the other schemes have, It is only suitable if the rectifier winding (the one normally used for directly heated diodes) is unused.

At a wild guess (i.e without trying to remember how to apply the maths again ) it should supply 12V or so at a few 10's of mA from a 5V winding.

That's what I had a hunch it would be, but never got round to checking it out....

I reflote this old topic. Is there an schematic of this mod somewhere on the site?
Its seems it existed somewhere in time. Thanks!
