Always connect the two red wires together

(1): calculated under the conditions of balancing the DC-currents Always connect the two green wires together
and the AC-anode voltages of the powertubes driving the transformer
(2): maximum value, measured over secondary, transfered to primary
Diameter approx.113mm
(3): calculation at 1 mWatt in Rls; ri and Rls are pure Ohmic Height approx.60mm
(4): defined as FDF = log(fh3/fl3) = number of frequency decades transfered Lead length approx. 200mm
