Hi Cliff, boy you sure opened an interesting topic! I'm struggling to keep up and am learning a lot, but slowly. The rotary switch and a hand full of Zeners, yes that would work, as long as it's a

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.IF th
Dear Geo, How about a rotary selector switch with different combinations of zeners to select voltage on the fly? Old style would be a rotary rheostat, but that would waste energy or not be practical
