:-\ whoa..... umm, yeah what that other guy said.
Err, ok, well backing up a few posts, I'm sure the two 9v's in serial didn't fry the cap as I hadn't even used them when that prob occured. It may have fried one of the IC's granted, but as I said, I tested the voltages and they were putting out only about 15v combined, but admittedly I tested them without a load. I think it's more likely that I miplaced a jumper.... I tend to do that.... fortunately enough I only tend to do it on the first circuit and not any to follow.
I'm gonna go through and trace the circuit tomorrow.... hopefully it is just a misplaced lead and not a fried IC or two. I am interested in the complementary pair suggestion though, if the output is higher it should be exactly what I'm looking for.
One of these days I need to either find out how to read and understand the values of transformers that I've found at suppliers'..... or learn how to start wrapping them myself.
At any rate thanks! and I'll be sure to post once I get this initial one debugged.
