Deluxe Electric Mistress Hi All,     I've got a re-issue EH Deluxe Electric Mistress (the mains powered jet fighter imitator) which has blown its PT. Does anyone know what voltage they're supposed to run on the secondary? I need to get another transformer.     BTW, if you ever do an outdoor gig through a generator, make sure the power is well filtered, those spikes do your gear no favours!     Liam

Eric	Hey Liam,   I've got an original one of those, I suppose I could measure it for you. Or maybe you could convert it to batteries? Eric

Book Of The Day

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Note: The Ampage Archive is an Amazon Associate site. A small commission is paid to the site owner on any qualified purchase made after clicking an associate link such as the one above.

Liam	Eric,     That would be most excellent if you would. I think it's single ended, so just the RMS coming off the secondary would get me in a position to go shopping. I don't really want to convert it to batteries, I just love all that mains hum!     Liam

Eric	OK, it should be a quick and easy measurement. I'll try to remember to do it tonight...   Eric
