Thanks to all. I appreciate the help.

I work with 400Hz AC power, 28VDC hi-amperage power, and 60Hz high-amperage power EVERYDAY so working around high voltages is nothing new to me. I know how to take precautions and I think it is OK to say that I know how to be safe and where to look for safety tips that I may not have memorized.

I am not an Engineer. I am a Technician. I am not versed in the EE theory of Transformers and DC rectifiers/Power bridges. Basically, someone gives me a set of prints (schemos) and I build it! If I need to discharge a cap, I will do it. If I am uncertain about it, I will look up the info to do it correctly.

Long story short.... I am not an idiot or all that unfamiliar with the dangers of working with high voltages and current. What I do not know is how to apply the parts that I currently have into the circuit I want to build. Now, if that means that no one on here will assist me and just point me to some literature then that is OK. I will eventually get it done. I was merely looking to save a bit of time by tapping the resources of this forum. Isn't that the purpose of this forum  ???

I do appreciate the well-beings and warnings. Now I need the practical knowledge to go along with it.  ;D

yeah but be careful :icon_mrgreen: ok sorry man. Wasnt trying to talk down to you!! The theory guide at ax84 is pretty short and sweet man. It was the best resource i found.
I wonder what happens if I .......

and yeah the diodes convert the ac to dc. I dont know how to hook up the two 3.15 legs to the 6v heaters. I think mine were 6.3...sorry bout that. You would think put them together to make 6.3 but i really am ignorant on that. hope that helps.
