[GreenKeys] Rectifier voltage question...

[E.]

Thanks to all for all of your input on this rectifier situation I have… learned a lot!  Ended up getting a cheap, linear bench power supply - just to expedite things and for safety.  There’s not much room in the old rectifier to do a total overhaul, but will put it on my longterm list of things to-do… that list is long xD heheh ;p ~
