RE: Is this feasible? Rectifying 6.3v for heaters

He probably added 1.4 to 6.3 instead of multiplying.

FWIW, my experience with trying to get 6.3VDC from 6.3VAC is not so positive. If more than a few hundred mA is needed, losses add up rapidly with a typical cap input filter even using std schottky rect. Much better results when starting with 8 or 9VAC.
