Is there a "standard" arrangement for the diodes in a two diode supply (no ct on TX)? I've got one here that looks like one leg of the AC from the PT feeds "through" a capacitor?? Is that a normal situation on SS rectified supplies? Any discussion on the topic would most likely be beneficial as I don't have much experience with them.

Is it a voltage doubler? Sherwood used them and I think some Fisher used them too. A link to a schematic would help please.

I think maybe it is a doubler. Here is a hand drawn schematic

Maybe this is more like it.

What you have is a half wave voltage doubler.

That's in post 4 I presume. For some reason, these things are hard for me to get my head around. Thanks though, I got the one I have here working.:thmbsp:
