Dear friends,

I have three amplifiers a Heathkit SB-220, a Heathkit SB-200 and an Ameritron 
AL80B. In my shack (an apartment) I have two voltages 120 and 220 (not 240). 
The AL80B has the 220v option but the Heathkits just work with 240v. There is a 
drop in the line voltage and my amplifiers are not working at their full 
potential. 

My question is: The Heathkit amplifiers will work fine with 220v or I should 
expect low power output? Has anyone experienced the same situation.

73 Carlos 

ps. My building has three phases, that is the reason I have 220v and not 240v.
