Re: [AMRadio] Smoothing Choke

[Rick Brashear]

I've heard others telling similar stories, so I hope I am going heavy 
enough.  I have an old ferroresonant transformer for the low voltage 
supply that runs hot anyway, but is capable of at least 50 amps, so it 
should do fine.  My problem with this supply is I ain't no spring 
chicken anymore and this dude is getting heavy!

I built a power supply with an 8 Amp transformer from FAIR RADIO 
for mine back in the 1980s.
MAN that transformer ran HOT,... even with no load!
