Hi Gents, the Sussex transformer was designed with a limited range of heater voltages to keep costs down. The ext sockets were intended to be used for all battery valves and anything higher than 12.6v.
Original units had 4,5,6.3 &12.6V. For the past year I have also added a 2.5v winding after requests for this from people with US power triodes.
