hello,

Does anyone know link to web page or article about designing choke for
tube amp power supplies. I need 15-20H /70mA choke and have some emalled
copper wire and old transformer irons that I could use...

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Mikko Kankaanpää

Thanks, Choky. I guess I'll keep your country off the Rouge SState list a
while longer - you've bought yourself some time before Our Brave Boys bring
you freedom & democracy on the wings (wings?) of Gazilloton cruise
missiles...
