Hello,

I am working on project that incorporates circuits from the original 1073 circuit with two additional BA283AM circuits. I did some measurements and I am getting a total of about 150mA of draw for the whole circuit. For some reason this seems a little low for this circuit, but from what I'm measuring and a little bit of Ohm's law this is where I keep landing. I'd someone like to correct me if this is not so as I'm needing to settle on a PSU that will sufficiently power this unit.

Thanks!

Paul
 
Your numbers sound reasonable;
Current for a 1073 is a little over 80mA depending on biasing;
Current for a Bx38 is 17mA to 42mA depending on power boosting.
