I have few questions about Pumpkin/shunty :
1. regarding X-former : would a "2x30V" Trafo - which gives about 80V after bridge - be a good choice or not? Or should I rob my wife to buy a new one....
2. Regarding the electrolytics in Both Pumpkin and Shunty : is there any "crucial" places where it could be worth it to use some not-so-drekky ones ?

1. you need +/-36V at output , after some pretty big voltage losses ;I can't recommend any voltage bellow +/- 50V on input , that's absolute minimum, and just in case that your mains voltage have no sags of -10%
2. on output of Shunty and local ones in P .
Manu, could you rob 2 more of those transformers for me from your wife's closet ? 😀
Choky,
When you say "local" I'm not sure what that means?

Will be using this one:
200VA o-core, 42-0-42V. I'd be able to source some more of those, but they have 230V primaries only.

Or,
"Listen here! You can put your C..andle in that P..umpkin, but don't even think about messing with my T...ransformers!" 😀 😀 😀
