So I've been wanting to make a solid bass amp, and a friend of mine owned an AD200 that he loved. The 200W is a little much for my needs so I was wanting to make a 100w version, with only 2 6550's. Going off the spec sheet for the 6550, that means I need to shoot for 600V plate voltage and 300v screen voltage. A schem I found for the AD200 says that plate is 660 and screen supply is 375 before the dropping resistors at the screen pins.
The schem has the Screen supply coming off a separate secondary tap of the transformer. I can't find any transformers wired like this (other than the Mercury Mag drop ins that are for the 200W AD200 and 400$ per, yikes!)
I know it'd be a little hackish, but would it work if I used this transformer set:

Or is it necessary to have a separate screen supply? Or can it just be had off the main HT, assuming a current capable transformer? The AD200 seems like a very simple amp, just 2 Ecc83, (preamp and phase inverter) and an ECC81 as a cathode follower between the PI and power tubes? the biggest problem so far is the transformer issue, finding a suitable OT seems easy, but the PT is the toughy. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
