Well Thanks Guys,
From the responses, I'm less fearful of power scaling! 8) Now on to the choosing of power iron. Let me state, right off, that MM will never get a dime of my money, due to what I view as some of their "snake oil" marketing tactics and overly inflated prices, unless a customer demands their product!

I see many options available, including some iron that appears to be the same in voltages but with a higher current capacity than the ones designed specifically for the Tweed Deluxe. Is there anything to be gained by choosing one of these with higher current, or is the low current capability part of the magic?

I see fairly pertinent offerings from Classictone and MPS. Has anyone here had any experience with the MPS stuff? I have had good luck with their OT's that I use for my 10 watt 6AQ5 builds and a friend swears by their 275v-0v-275v units.

Oh, FWIW, you guys have done very little to curb my addiction! :P I'm now even hotter for this build than I was when I started this thread!

Thanx Again For All The Comments & Help,
Gene
