Well, my power transformers arrived-I highly recommend Playthings of the Past-he sent me a photocopy of the datasheet for the one tranny, and heavily labeled the other one to ensure proper installation.

Somehow, I made a mistake, and the one transformer produces a bit more voltage than I really need-350v instead of 240v. So, maybe someone can check my math:

The final B+ needs to be 240v @160ma. My calculations show I need a 687.5 ohm 17.6w resistor to drop those 110v, from a 350v supply voltage.

The B++ line needs to be 315v@85ma. I figured I need a 411 ohm 2.95w resistor to drop that from a 350v supply voltage. Do these figures seem to work?
