Alexander	Re: PT for AC30 Hey Jeremy- The HV supply will NOT likely have enough B+ milliamps available. It'll run really hot and eventually catch fire- and probably be nutty saggy too. A proper PT for an AC30 typically HAS to weigh 5 lbs ! The PT you describe sounds like a good one for a tweed Deluxe /5E3 or Matchless Lightning sort of 12-15 W sort of amp. Again, the 270HX is a great tough PT for usually around 60.00 or so. Angela has them for retail customers. I buy from the Hammond distribution depot in Buffalo and have a tax cert for manufacturing which gets me around 25% off but you have to usually buy ten pcs. or so. Just my .02 ! Alexander
