Well Tom,
I was going to use it for a multi -purpose power supply, which I may still do. I was hoping it had a very high current low voltage winding. For instance; 8 to 30 volts @ 5 to 10 amps.
For now I'm going to use an old Zenith 95-2141 power transformer. Its from a mid sixties B&W set I stripped in the 70's. It has two output windings; 115vac@ .3 amp and 6.3vac @ 8.9 amps. I needed lots of filament current for 5 volt tubes like the old cx201's used in 1920's battery sets. I,m using a 12 amp bridge rectifier for a 1.4v drop from 6.3v to 4.9volts. The 115 volt secondaries current may be overkill, but I have plenty of current for tubes like the 6080 which I use now and then.
