Hi David, Since my RAP 646 was accessible

, I measured the AC input current, With the set working normally at 240V I get 260mA, minus the rectifier, 120mA, minus all valves but with the 3 dial lamps, 90 mA. As the 846 has a push-pull output with extra valves and presumably a bigger mains transformer, your figures don't seem too unreasonable

Reards, Mick.
