[ARC5] Receiver Power Supply

[Phillip Carpenter]

Has anyone on the Forum built a power supply for the ARC-5 receivers using a Stancor PC-8417 power transformer?

This transformer has three secondaries:

220-0-220v @ 50mA
25.5v @ 0.5A
6.3v @ 0.6A

I was thinking of using a 6X5 as the rectifier for the B+. I assume a full wave bridge would work for the 24v filaments to the Command Set receiver? What is the current draw for the receiver filaments at 24v? Is the 0.5A close enough?

If someone has seen a power supply circuit using the PC-8417 power transformer please send it my way (by direct reply with attachment) and/or fill me in on the details.

If the current ratings are OK, this would make an excellent PS for my receivers!

Thanks in advance to all you respond!

Respectfully,
