Also known as the Mullard 510 and Mullard 5-10. See also my notes on a Mullard three-three rebuild.

The resistors for R9 and R10 should be matched to within 5%, and the larger used for R10. The values of R27 and R28 depend on the winding resistances of the mains transformer and on the choice of rectifier. They must be chosen to make the total effective limiting resistance of each anode of the rectifier up to the required value. The total limiting resistance, Rlim, in series with each anode of the rectifier must be a least 47 ohm for the CZ30 or at least 215 ohm for the EZ80. The amount of series resistance, Rt, contributed by the transformer is :- Rt = 1/2 Rs + n*n * Rp [IS THIS CORRECT? ORIGINAL PHOTOCOPY IS HARD TO READ] where Rs = resistance of secondary. Rp = resistance of primary. n = ratio of number of turns on half the secondary to the number of turns on the primary. Thus if Rt is less than Rlim, then R27 and R28 must both be chosen equal to the difference between them. CAPACITORS C1,C2 - Double Electrolytic, 50 + 50 uF 350 v.w. C3 - Electrolytic, 10 uF 350 v.w.
