I am in the midst of attempting to build my own power supply unit
I am planning to use this circuit by RG which can be found at his site: http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/Spyder/spyder.htm

1. What would be the transformer Amp output? It says 12VA. I did a search on the net but couldn't understand the conversion from VA to A
2. I couldn't get any DB01s, but I have RB154 which has similar tech specs (http://www.rectron.com/data_sheets/rb151-157.pdf). I can't understand the pinout of the RB154 though, there's only one lead with a "+" mark. I'm guessing that the "-ve" pin should be the one directly opposite the +ve? The remaining two pins shouldn't matter since it is AC, right?
3. How do I wire the transformer to obtain 12V (since it's got 6V-0-6V)?
4. What should be the value for components A,B,C,D & the diode in RG's schematic?
Is this correct?
