I have a pile of old power supplies I found buried in my back closet.
One of them is an old full wave, but not a bridge. One of the stud
rectifiers shorted blowing the filter cap up and taking out the 3055.

I'm considering taking full wave bridges on each side of the transformer
and connecting the positives and negatives together, or should I just
get two large 1N devices instead?

OTQ, I didn't forget you and the old modems. I've just been busy.

On another turn,
Anyone ever play with the tuners that are in old VCRs?
Is it worth seeing what I can do with one?

TIA

There are many packaged bridge rectifier packages out there with rather hefty current ratings (25 A and higher) - you never said what rating the power supply is but I bet a packaged bridge will do the job nicely at quite a low price. FYI you can easily use a bridge as a full-wave rectifier. With some more details, we can throw some more ideas your way.?
