18-0-18 is 36v Center Tapped.
It will work fine. You'll need only one bridge, wire as shown -
The CT goes to GND, the positive from the bridge is V+ and the negative from the bridge is V- .

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
The CT goes to GND, the positive from the bridge is V+ and the negative from the bridge is V- .
As the LSK170 and LSJ74 are still being made as fast as they can make them, ALL the F6 parts are current production.
😀 😀 😀

It's maybe worth mentioning that F6 doesn't need input buffer if the source has low output impedance. In that case all remaining parts are current production and easy to find

It is as I had hoped! 🙂
Many thanks again.
Question on wire.
I have solid core 20 gauge wire with teflon insulation and I also have 12 and 14 gauge stranded wire from an auto parts store. Would either be suitable for the power supply wiring?
I have shielded wire for audio signal connections.

Fair enough ... but if not needed there they can find better use somewhere else. After all we don't build just one amp, don't we? [emoji3]
The Teflon is best, but any of that will work well.
great, so 20 gauge is heavy enough.
On a lot of the builds I see people put the little terminal blocks at the ends of the pcb for connecting them up. They seem to come in all sorts of different measurements for the solder pin spacing. Is the standard for these PCBs 5mm?
I think Jim said they are all suitable for the project, not to use 20 AWG only. For connections between the amp boards and the PSU (+, -, Gnd) use 16 AWG. Use the same gauge for the speaker output (+, -) also. The 20 AWG you can use for audio input, RCA to PCBs.

I may get some good 16 AWG wire from ApexJr but I have to see if I can hit the minimum purchase.
He has posts, jacks, capacitors, and other useful stuff.
Also, good wire doesn't go bad, so buy enough for your next 2-3 projects. Or make a lifetime purchase, wire has never gotten cheaper.

...good wire doesn't go bad..
Correct! Bad wire is that way from the beginning. 😀

Just a comment.
I bought some silver plated copper wire from apex jr.
He's a great guy but the quality of the wire I purchased was terrible, ie extremely brittle. Ya get what you pay for I suppose.
I would ask him about the quality before buying, specifically how brittle it is ie it breaks very easily if you need to bend it.

OFF TOPIC!!!
Jim,
How come you did not include the V-FET amplifier in your signature? Did somebody take it away from you?

I loaded up on all the other stuff when I got the 20 and 22 AWG solid wire when I figured my next project would be a tube amp.
But I haven't ever said the words "Man, I wish I had less wire on hand" so having some extra is never a bad thing.

I have bought quite a bit from him, (Apex Jr) solid and stranded, never a moments problem with any of it. Will be back for more!🙂

Power supply is live. Did the dim-bulb turn on for it and everything worked. With no load it is at 25v on each side
