[Boatanchors] Unused transformer windings.

 Hi Fellows,

Don't ever short out unused filament or other transformer windings!
If you have replaced the vacuum rectifiers with solid state, use the
unused high voltage filament winding in "series aiding", NOT
BUCKING to lower the high voltage. 
The step-up step-down in transformers depends upon the "Turns
Ratio". Putting the filament winding in series adding will lower
the Turns Ratio resulting in lower output of the high voltage
winding.
FWIW,
