[ARC5] A pair of questions

I used Bob’s system to power the PE-73 on my BC-375-E. Big 28V transformer, fat caps, and a pair of solid state bridges with heatsinks and a fan.. I got it to 32v with the load resistor, use a Variac for the rest. I set it to idle at 28, and it drops to 27 when I key the 375. Runs nice and cool. I have to pull the end bells and lid to the doghouse on top of the PE-73 to keep it from overheating during nets, but it works. 

Cheers!
