Use 24 V. C.T. transformer for up to 9 Amps. This transformer may not deliver full 12 volts at full current, but at 9 volts will regulate at full current. If full 12 volts at full current is desired, find a transformer that will deliver full desired current at 17 volts rms. Omit transistor Q2C and Resistor R8 for 4 amp supply. Meters and miscellaneous hardware are up to builder. Note: If a maximum current limit other than 4 or 6 amps is desired, the calculation for R9 is: (0.63) divided by the desired current limit. Example: (0.63) divided by 5 Amp. = 0.125 Ohm. You could use 0.22 Ohm and 0.33 Ohm in parallel. This would limit the current at about 4.77 amps. All Electronics Corp. P.O.
