======================================
Hello Roger,
Please see the attached specification sheet for our 40-18029. Please see the actual measured voltages in the lower left hand corner. These are actual measured voltages with all windings loaded to FULL rated load currents. Each set of taps was tested with different rectifier tubes. The voltages were measured after the unit was loaded for a few hours...
All voltages will read higher with less than full load current, when the unit is cold, and when used with solid-state rectifiers.

30v zener on its way now, still the amp sounds really good, especially the cleans, just shooting for some Feedback City "zhoosh" or whatever it's now called lol. Playing with the NFB for now.
The 5F6 was designed to run on 110V AC and sometimes lower..It kills me when I get a transformer in designed around another famous amps transformer and the voltages are not even close.. I usually send them back.
Btw..Yep still the Feedback City amp. ..Passing on some feedback vibes for ya!!
