Re: Zener diode regulator
In Gerald Weber's book it says you can add a zener in series with the B+ center tap in a Vibrolux to lower the voltage. He reccomends a 56 v 50w zener from center tap to ground (lifting the grounded center tap). The cathode connected to ground. Is he talking about the output xfmr or the pwr.xfmr? If the center tap was grounded maybe he's talking about the pwr.xfmr?
