See my previous reply, already suggested complete with a way to derive the 14V desired for accessories.

John,

No problem with your PH-180/diode solution, especially if you are thinking of running everything off one PH-180. I think using a separate, and cheaper, Z-1000 brick for the accessories is better. It has more power than the CW-80 he has on order, and it already has a 14 volt tap (something the PH-180 does not have). Then using your diode design to drop that voltage from the 14 volt tap to get his 9 volts. To me that is less complicated than trying to get two different lower voltages off a PH-180.

Lots of different ways to do this. They all will work.
