Hey All, I'm back to complete a tube p.s for an Alembik FtwoBee.
Looking to class A some 12ax7s so around 300v B+ is where I want to be.
I was totally careless and accidently connected a center tap
when I shouldn't have.
this screw up blew up
my power transformer.
With a new hammond 261G6 250-0-250 using a full wave rectifier my voltage is a bit low.
Want to try a bridge, and a few stages of RC to hit 300
Don't want it to blow.
I know I can leave the center tap disconnected. :?
I know this, and yet smoking transformer memory still strong. :sad:
Cannot find confirmation on something I'm 99.9 percent sure of.
Must consult with experts.

The question -
I can leave the CT disconnected correct?

Thanks All
Sleeper
