Thank you both. @gregebert I would be very thankful if you could explain it or send a link here so I can see how I could implement it into my design. My clock uses 4x IN-14 tubes + 4x INS-1 tubes
@Ian I can't say for sure since the supply is on a very small board so the whole thing gets very hot, but yes, I'd say the MOSFET is the hottest component. And, to be honest, I bought the PS from eBay from EU seller because I though Chinese ones could be problematic (such irony!) and there was only the picture I attached here. After I noticed the problems occurring in the PS, I inspected the PS and concluded it should be the one from the schematic I posted in my previous message (unfortunately). <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gQNC8HToUCg/VgCJSGVW2GI/AAAAAAAAAFE/8MpZNA93z28/s1600/IMG_20150921_185752.jpg> Dana ponedjeljak, 21. rujna 2015. u 22:22:52 UTC+2, korisnik gregebert napisao je: > > I stick with linear power supplies, especially for the anodes > (high-voltage), whenever possible.
