Default AC/DC 6BQ5?

Hey RATs:

I'm thinking of building a small potato amp with a couple of 6.3v tubes and
was considering a transformerless power supply. I understand how to get my
B+, but filament voltage I'm not so sure about. Can I just string the
filaments in series for 12.6v and use a high voltage cap in series in front
of that to lower the voltage? I've seen something similar for knocking
filament voltage down in AA5 radios.

Thanks

Andrew
