The absolute safest method, using old tech 3 wire amplifiers if you have a
4 wire cord is to install a GFCI on each leg of the 220. Use it to plug
in a wall wart or reading lamp, keep it balanced.
If you end up in a case where you're going to have power on the case, the
GFCI(s) will blow. t least, in my worst case it did.
USUALLY cheaper than running new power to the shack, complete with 4 wires.

It's a sad state of affairs when your tubes don't have handles but your
dummy load does.
