I made up a high current 12VDC power supply, used to emulate an automobile electrical system. The schematic is here.
Here is a small collection of datasheets I found useful.

A very ambitious project… scanning in the entirety of Karl Spangenberg’s epic Vacuum Tubes. Click HERE for a single, self-extracting archive file of the jpgs (~70Mb). A nice large PDF file can be found here.
