"Magical Diodes 'R' Us" of course

My mistake, I took only 1 diode drop. I think in a low
power circuit with a marginal supply you could get away
with a Schottky bridge, but that's straying from Andrew's
problem. I'm sure that the 6VAC would be at the rated
o/p current and would be worth testing before swapping
it for a higher V transformer
