el34 36- watter: What Edcor trannies?
Hi Folks
For those who have used Edcor transformers:
Which ones would you recommend for a 36 watter with 2xEL34?
Please also comment on Triode transformers and what your choice may be there
Thanks!

Are you intending to use a valve rectifier or diodes ?For those who have used Edcor transformers:

The spec sheet(s) I'm going off say you want around 375v Plate voltage with a 130 Ohm shared cathode resistor & 1K screens into a 3.4K OT for 35 watts.
You'l be drawing up to 95mA on (each of) the plates & 20mA on (each of) the screens so you need some very chunky resistors !
I'm in the proces of rebuilding a Baby Will I modded to run 6V6s to run EL34s (testing an Antek Toroid PT) & I'm being very careful with the power rail on this baby !
