I currently have on my hands a Shin Ei Univibe,
I ve managed to trace the entire pedal but my transformer knowledge is a bit low.
So I don't know which PT should I choose.
The original one has one primary 110V and to secondaries with 14v and 6.3v.
The 6.3v secondary is only for the lamp nothing special.
I would like to find one which has the same specs but with 220-230v primary.
Any suggestions would appreciate.

Cheers,
Panos.

Why do you want to stick to the transformer setup?

You could use a 15V DC-DC converter, that would give you way enough of mA to run the lamp and the other semi-conductors. For the 6.3V you could use a L7806 with a little cap arrangement so you have a tight 6.3V output. with the TO220 package you'd also have plenty of mA to supply the lamp.

EDIT: I think that 78L06 would work fine, iirc they max output is 100mA.

Sorry for my ignorance but I made an huge mistake.
6.3v is only for the indicator lamp and not for the univibe lamp.
With the assistance of my good buddy Rej I will use an MCA05D15D  DC/DC CONVERTER
and problem solved.
Thanx Rej again for your great help.

Cheers.
