Thanks but that is 24 volts, for a halogen lamp, I believe.
I need 16-18 volts.
transformer
I have a tektronics scope filament transformer that will fill the bill.
clean condition, but it is heavy!
Has as best I remember, 4 windings, 9.62 V connected W/12 ga wire, good for perhaps 15 a each. also six to ten other windings at the same voltages, but designed for lower amps. Tek used these higher voltages because they regulated all filaments down to 6.3V
The 9.62 will sag a bit under loads greater than 5a, which should put it within range.
If this is to be for class A amps like the"x" I suggest every extra volt will be of great use: I have not been able to achieve an AC to DC conversion at high amps for more than about a 0.99 voltage conversion factor. Its high mass will protect you from overheating issues, IMHO
Do tell me what DC you are aiming at- and how many efficiency rectifiers you're thinking about!
