I'm  dithering between a B+ supply value of 60 and 120 volts.  I don't 
think  90 to 120 volts stresses the set much, and it may work a little better at 
the  higher voltage.  At the lower voltage I have to lower the value of the 
 plate dropping resistor in the HF and beat frequency oscillators.  Tis  
only a small mod, but it's still a mod.

Thanks for your  note.

I have a couple of sets, one Russian the other Japanese war  time and they 
run happily on just 5 x  9v batteries in series. Its amazing  just what can 
be achieved with low volts, hi. 
 
I have two 3 rack rx's and a 2 rack rx and 2 rack tx setup  running though 
on mains powered supplies. Like you I too will one day get around  to making 
it all run off 12v.
