I want to wire two hammond transformers, the main high voltage PT has 180-0-180v tap and a 5v tap, but no 6,3v tap for heaters, so I'm going to have to buy a 6,3V small transformer for the heaters alone, question is... how do I wire it simultaneously with the high voltage PT, since I want to use the same power chord? Shell I just wire them to the same voltage entry point in parallel?

thanks

Sounds to me like you've got it right.  Simply parallel your primaries and send your secondaries about their business.  Here's a link to my current project.  It has a separate PT for the phantom supply, a similar deal.  The powers supply is on the 4th page of the schematic.   :lipsrsealed:
