Ha, this video is great! Don't know why it has any dislikes at all.
I'm just getting into tube design, and my first challenge is a power supply. I want to build the "SimpleX Suer Mark II" receiver from the 1963 ARRL handbook, but the power supply uses a honking great 16 Hy choke. I'm going to try to substitute a non-period power supply. Learning is fun!

Love the video - nice job on the unit. Now, I fear I may suffer the same fate as @jwmisc with that song title. It's just SO HAPPY o.0
p.s. Did I mention that the video was great? Just checking. Really enjoyed it.

Well done Mike - I like the picture of us kids under the desks at school preparing for a nuclear attack... Remember those days well - and then there was 7 days in May and the Cuban Missile Crisis de Howie K3HW - burnt out old dieselboat radioman

The song is "Swinging Safari." Gotta love a title like that!

I'm just learning about tubes; why did you make a power transformer for the tubes (assuming that's what it is) separate from the rest of the circuitry? Won't you eventually have to join everything together?

Good question. Depending on the goal, either approach can be right. If you want to experiment with different designs, or if you want to power more than one piece of equipment from the power supply, then building it separate makes sense - this was quite often done with ham radio gear. If you're building a more permanent piece of gear then building the power supply into the gear makes sense - the typical case with audio gear.
