Post Subject: Do the Filament Transformers Require a Center Tap?Posted by Iraschwips on: 10/5/2017
I'm thinking about trying to put together a Melquiades amplifier for myself. I printed out a copy of the schematic (thanks for sharing). I have a simple early question. Both the 12.6 and 6.3V windings for the filaments are shown as being center taped. My question is whether it would be acceptable to use a non-center tapped windings, at least for the 6E5P (6.3v). Looks like the resistors used with the center tap are optional components.
I attached a photo of a transformer I was considering purchasing in anticipation of starting this project. The cost would be $39 x 2, or $78. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
