Ben, and the transformer shows no sign of running too warm? Just asking, as i have not
tried this kink myself. - Hue Miller

Apparently no, the set works fine but it has to be said it quite low power, 2 to 3 watt o/p, 5 tube tx, 6 tube rx. Possibly with higher current sets there may be heat generated. 

Anyway, a jolly good wheeze I fell.
