Re: [TCML] 7.5V 52A Filament Transformer for 3CX3000 Needed

[Phillip Slawinski <pslawinski@xxxxxxxxx>]

DC,

Pardon me, but that seems a little absurd.  I can think of many
reasons not to do this.  To begin with the transformer would make a
good power source for the tube in question.  Secondly if one were to
do this, the transformer would be many times larger, and heavier than
it needs to be.  If anyone has enough 7.2kV pigs to do this why
wouldn't he just sell one to buy a real filament transformer?
