Transformer Spec's

[Cree]

Looking at this transformer, Classic Tone 40-18019 for a (F) Champ type build. IN the specs it says, 650v ct @ 70ma. Does this mean 70ma both sides of the center tap for 140ma total or does that mean 70ma total? If 70ma total hows does this power a Princeton Reverb?

That means 70ma total, ie red to red can provide 650VAC @ 70mA. Looking at the same PT you see 6.3V CT @ 2.25A. That also means 2.25A total, ie green to green can provide 6.3VAC @ 2.25A.

A PR sucks the voltage down a bit to get all the juice it needs.

With a 2 phase rectifier as used in tube amps, at any instant the current can only flow in half the HT winding.

So it might not even be rated for a continuous 70mA through the whole winding.
