I ordered a Edcor XPWR127-120 power transformer , It seems to have all my needs except.
My concern is the 12v winding. Should this be 6volts and if so how would I step it down to 6v. Thanks This is for. Dumble #102 build.

The LM7812 handles a range of input voltages, the 6V doubled will give you enough to rectify and feed the regulator. I thought it was on the low side and went with a 12V transformer, which doubled is still well within the regulator range. Working in my case, thought about converting the doubler to just rectify but seemed like more work for no reason.
