PT-6 finished!!
#2

Fantastic progress so far! You bring up an interesting question regarding fusing. I don’t hear much about people fusing transformer less AC/DC sets. Maybe I just haven’t happened to catch those particular conversations, I don’t know. But I’ve long wondered. 

Does the bulb remain bright if you pull the 35Z3 tube? You won’t get any plate voltage if you remove this tube, but the rectifier is really the only thing I can imagine would suddenly dim the bulb, once it heats up and starts rectification.
