[Hallicrafters] HT-37 low voltage rectifier

[Bill]

Thanks for the info.  I am currently restoring 2 HT-37's
and I wanted to keep the tubes and decided to go with a
bucking xfmr a while back.

    In a word, no.  Not like you say, at least.  The HV & LV will be
higher, maybe 10-20v, this is not a problem in these transmitters.  This
subject has been covered many times recently.  Take a look at my site:
http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/
specifically the page on HT-37  - the HT-37 power supply info:
http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/HT37.htm toward the bottom of the page.
    Others have spoken similarly.
