Gentlemen,
I would like to try this circuit using the 2N3055's (NPN TO-3 with heat sinks) that I scrounged from a discarded organ. They test good with an Ohm meter.
The transistors he listed are PNP's, but from what I've read here and on data sheets, it looks like the NPN's would plug right in, with the collector towards the left (resistor and the bridge) and the emitter towards the right (output and the load). Base remaining the same (towards the regulator).
Before I release da smoke from da parts, I be needin' some input from you-all.
Have I got this bass ackwards? What's the correct way to do this?
Already have most of the parts including huge multi-tap transformer and two meters. Sure would be nice to use existing stuff.
Any thoughts, advice, or corrections would be greatly appreciated!!!
Best Regards,
DanAir
