[GreenKeys] REC-23

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

Not sure about the design or the limiting factor for the line frequency but 50Hz transformers usually operate comfortably on 60Hz. They just have more iron core than a 60Hz design would need. Assuming it's just a plain vanilla transformer, that is.

Is anybody using a REC-23 rectifier? I got one with my TT-7.  I originally thought it
was a REC-13, but found out it is a REC-23 (made for 50 Hz). I used a 60 watt bulb
to adjust the voltage as described in S-5331, but can't get the current up to 500 ma.
at the highest set of taps. Or, is the bulb really a 60 watt bulb? Or, does it really matter?
I wouldn't think it was that critical, especially if it is only used for the punch.
