Thanks for the info. The anodized green set is really cool
Here's the original schematic and my proposed modifications to replace the seleniums and eliminate that 20W filament dropping resistor.
I figure I can replace the 10 ohm fusistor with a plain fuse and 100-200 ohms to drop the voltage down when the seleniums are replaced with silicon.
Seems easier than using two separate resistors - one for each diode.
My hope is that the CL-90 will provide a soft start but not restrict the current too much. I have a CL80 and CL-130 I can experiment with too.
Perhaps I should use a diode that can handle more current ? The surge might be too much for a 1A 1N4007.
