Smile Simple Regulated PS Using 6N7 Pass Tubes

In this one the 6N7s need to be driven into grid current to get anykind of useable output current. But the stabilization factor is porportional to the pass tube mu (35) & amplifier gain. The gain is reduced a little by the 12B4 CF.

Looking back in from the output terminals the source impedance is proportional to the amplifier gain & gm of the 6N7s, so 3x whatever the 6N7s are doing at that load.

Notice it can be swiched for either C or L filter input. So at lower voltages, higher currents are possible.

Stability depends mostly on the gas tube & output sampling resistors. Altogether a passable PS for ordinary work.

Why did I use 6N7s? We had a pile of them & $$$ were short. Overtime I also used some 6A3s & 6B4Gs. Sure would not do that now!

Cheers to all, John
