Re: Zener Diodes in a 5F1 Champ to lower B+?
What PT and rectifier are you using?  
If 5w-10w zeners are hard to come by,...  
Since this is a class A amp and the PT is under a more constant load, you can use 3-5w 150-220ohm dropping resistors in the high voltage secondary leads to the rectifier, lowering the actual AC before it is rectified.
