Hi,
My current project is scavenging the iron from a console stereo that used 2 ELL80's in the amplifier. My online reading has revealed that 2 EL95's
are a direct replacement into that circuit. I would like to copy the circuit and build the EL95 version but I would like to replace the SS rectifier with tube rectification.
The power transformer only has 6V heater supply so I would like to
go with that variety. I assume I have enough power since it powered
6 other tubes in the radio and preamp circuit.
My question is will 1 6X4 work for 4 EL95's ? If I am reading the data sheets correctly it looks like each EL95 needs 20 ma and the 6X4 will output approx 70 ma which would not be enough, correct? If it cant handle both sides, are there other inexpensive choices or is it ok to run one 6X4 per side?
Apologies for any ignorant questions but I will use a quote I read on this forum such that I am a solder by number guy and dont pretend to understand more than I do.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
