Well the A supply is pretty easy to build. Just need a good 6.3v @ 3A or so filament transformer, a bridge rectifier, 5000-10000mfd cap@12v and a LM317T IC +a few small resistor and a cap or two. The LM317 is an adjustable regulator that come in two sizes @1.5A and 3A. You can put up to 37v in it and it will regulate it from 1.3v to 37v. If you want to go on the cheap you can use a 5v fixed regulator.
OR You could use the regulator with a 12v car battery to regulate it down to 5V and not have to build a 6v ac supply to start with.
Happy building!!!
Terry
