I have never used the two design I posted placed here for your use. On the farm radio I have, use a D cell for the filments and 90 volts dc for the B+. The design was found on Phil's old radios look under building, what a nice site. To get 135 volts dc connect a full bridge rect to line voltage(120) add a 47UF cap and resistors to get the correct voltage for your current draw. Line voltage divided by .707 gives peak voltage which the Ecap will charge to without a bleeder resistor. I am sure the EEs will be alone to help explain what I am trying to say. David
