I’m paying homage

Cheers Phil,

A bit more progress today. Have got the OPTs and valve sockets mounted on the top deck:

Well, the triple-decker frame is built: a copy of Izzy’s GM70 pp chassis building technique.
Might actually get something done now.

I’d better get a move on with the SV811-3 SET.

Good God! you were lucky there Shane. Hope it all heals nicely.

The bus station is just a car park since the interchange was built 20? years ago, and the ABC has been empty for decades. That's, er, progress.

Indeed! Sad.

There was a tailor on Rotherham Market who used to do Northern soul fashions made to measure. The trousers on my particular suit had 34in bottoms.

1. Whats the max voltage the regulator can accept without damage? I would worry about that with something that has choke input aspects 2. Why are you beating yourself up with the supply for a regulator? isn't that why you are using a regulator? 3. Whats wrong with a 9v 80va toroid, 25A bridge and 1...

Been doing a little bit of work in PSUD, designing a raw DC supply for the Coleman regs. I had a look at Ale Moglia's Bartola Valves site and got a little bit of useful inspiration there. The result of that and a bit of thinking on my part, using the parts I have is the hybrid choke input 4A supply ...
