I'm curious, if I wanted to use a pair of damper diodes for full wave B+
that have separate heaters from the cathodes but I wanted to wire a
heater tranny and use it's center tap for the B+ could/would you just
wire the cathode to the heater on each side to provide the CT B+?
(yes a separate CT filament tranny for just the dampers will be used)

I haven't seen this done anywhere but since conventional rectifiers can
be used this way I'm thinking that dampers shouldn't have a problem no?

If this has been done/is on the net somewhere I'd love to see a link....:)
