If you were designing a 4 tube IN-17 clock on a very small footprint would the LT1308B be the way to go? Having the ability to run at the lower voltage may be a plus. I checked out Mr. Taylor's power supplies and they are nice but I wanted to use components on a new board design from scratch., Do you have a data sheet on the 31105?...BTW thanks for the offer on the xfmrs...just read your e- mail...
