The FG504 takes ±33 V from the right slot to create a ±15 V supply, and the +11.5 V for a +5 V supply.
It uses the 25 V<sub>AC</sub> windings, 17.5 V<sub>AC</sub>, and +11.5 V from the left slot for a ±25 V supply to the output amplifier.
The regulators incorporate the mainframe pass transistors on both slots.
