filament supply Q.

D.L.	filament supply Q. I seem to be stuck w/a p.t. that had been designed for two rectifier tubes and series filaments, does anyone have any recomendations as to wether I should just use the center tap and one of the fil leads as my 6 volt supply (with or w/out 100 ohm resistors to ground to "balance" them)or should I use the 5 volt rect winding w/ some resistors in series on each to knock them each down to 3.15 volts..
