Building a Tube Type Power Supply
#8

So far, after wiring up two 12AX7 tubes as line, driver & phase inverter and using two 6V6GT tubes running at 32mA each the transformer does not even get warm. However 32mA is high for 6V6GT tubes, so I increased the cathode resistor for the push-pull 6V6 pair to 390 ohms and dropped the current per tube to 26.5mA where the whole arrangement runs quite cool. B+ is running about +330V at the first electrolytic cap and +325 at the second electrolytic cap which is after the choke.

Power transformer is quite cool to the touch even after an hour or so of operation.
