Apex, post181.
The relay driver should be saturated to operate properly as a switch.
It is normal to use a sat hFE of around 10 for this duty.
I would aim for a base current coming from the EF of around 4mA, for a 40mA relay coil.
The 10k in the collector of the EF is far too high.

does any of you have experience with connecting two trafos in series ?
thought I could use one trafo for each rail ?

they are older IE core trafos with 3x 33V
supply caps would be 100V types

That's possible... I even did it with 6 toroids in series with 29vac each..

See photo 4 of them in series...
