AM transmitter build - by Tim
#23

Another filament question. I have decided to use all 6v tubes for now. Concerning center taps and such, would it be well to ground one side of the heaters to the chassis, ground the filament center tap, and connect each side of the transformer to separate tubes? This means I would run the 6888 from one side of the transformer, and the 6AV6 on the other side. Again, this is a center tapped 12v (6-0-6) secondary. It wouldn't be very balanced current wise, but would this accomplish the same thing as a grounded center tap in a 6v filament transformer? I found some information about center taps here: http://www.valvewizard.co.uk/heater.html  But, it doesn't really answer this question. Any suggestions?

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
