Default Valve PSUs

You should be able to find suitable capacitors in car stereo set ups, there
are lots of options on eBay too

The problems associated with replacing (or even obtaining) the HT
reservoir capacitors in valve projects might be replace with a series
/ parallel arrangement of those dinky 100uF 35V SMD ones?


There's still a significant market for valve-based guitar amplifiers, so
somebody must be making the HT capacitors for them.


Probably could be rolled up and placed inside the original aluminium
can, too!


Don't forget to include a suitable voltage divider chain.
