Question to both Tom and Sky:
From the article it seems like if you have an open half of secondary in push-pull inverter you cannot 1) use the transformer (you need a good secondary to invert) and 2) you cannot simply throw out the transformer as the third mod by Ron (transformerless) is intended for SE arrangement.
There is a way to do inversion without transformer but it relied upon the tubes other than triodes in the output or using the driving tube from both ends - driving one tube from Cathode (follower - no inversion) and Anode (common cathode - phase inversion) and this becomes more extensive mod than I'd like.
So how did you use the arrangements in this article (if you did)?
