I spec'd' up a small open frame PT from Heyboer the other week and I should see them soon. If anyone is interested I can check on my price for maybe 6 of them.

1.5625" tall, 140V @ 30mA, 6.3V @ 600mA. It's heavy enough to handle a 12AT7 and 12AX7 if one wanted to do a two tube version.

Allen's TP2X is perfect. Note his rating is 260V @10mA, 260*1.41 = 368.
I have one here: I measure 286VAC unloaded from 122VAC primary.
Martin, never checked out the unit from Allen that does sound like a great choice though.

Is that your cathode bypass cap there? The fat grey cap?

Remember that it should be 47uF. Or at least 25uf.
Yep, it's 47uf/25V. Now the trick is to pinch this, the PT and the Triad choke into a small box.

Henry, about 6 months someone relatively nearby posted one your units on eBay. He listed it twice and the second time he even dropped the price and nobody bidded on it. At the time I figured I didn't need a lator that small, i'm kicking myself now.
