Default Re: DIY battery eliminator for valve radio

When you use the LT1083 you need a larger heatsink than the one supplied to keep it from getting too hot when running the full current.
I got two complete kits inc cct boards from China ages ago for less than half the price of the RS LT1083. They're a pound or so dearer now and neither RS or Farnell have them. I used one for the T1154 valve heaters.
