I think you and Geoff are right. I have and I might as well put it in a
box and fire it up. I do want to be sure I pay attention to the
comments about having ample and ten some when it comes to audio
reserve. I can always turn it down. I'm not sure the floor of my shack
will hold all these BC-610's, 1R2 and a monster amplifier-modulator, but
it will sure be fun testing it to see. I guess there is an advantage of
living alone, you can bust the floor out and not get into trouble!
Man, Brett, I would love to have gotten in on that! Transformers,
chokes and BIG capacitors are my worst vice.
Thanks guys!

Yes, I agree, go oversize if you can.
I was lucky to get loads of great parts 20 years
ago when no one wanted the stuff, it was all
transistors they wanted.
I got a load of UTC commercial grade chokes rated
for 7000 volts 700ma ccs for $10.00 each!
BC610 transformers were free if you would remove them,
etc.
Good deals can still be got sometimes, I got a nice Peter Dahl
power transformer that gives 3000 volts out at 500ma for
$75.00 at a fest.
I got some nice oil filled caps a few years ago at Gaithersburg
for $5.00 each.
The really big parts seem rare though...
