[Collins] Bucking Voltage

[David Knepper]

Someone mentioned that they use the unused 5 volt secondary winding to buck
the primary voltage in an HT-37.  I wonder if the same could be done with
the power transformer in the Collins 516F-2.

I wonder why this trick circuitry has not been discussed before to reduce
the A.C. voltage on the primary, thus, giving some relief to the transformer
from the over 120 volt line voltage in many areas.


Thank you.
