Title: Build Suggestions for Hammond 261G6 PT
Post by: ncusack on February 09, 2012, 06:49:30 am

Hello,

I recently picked up a Hammond 261G6 transformer and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a build using it. The transformer is rated for 250V 130mA no center-tap and only has a 2A 6.3V filament winding. I'm thinking solid state rectification is the way to go with this transformer and that should yield somewhere in the neighborhood of 350VDC.

Any build suggestions would be appreciated. I know its a limited transformer but I think there has to be a few minimalist designs worth building out there.

Cheers,

Neill

That's very similar to the PT we're using for this project:

I'd be tempted to do a 6V6 version of Geezer's HoSo56 with that PT.

OR you could consider the "Double C" amp.  The guy I built it for likes it alot.
