Uwe is right.

I lived in Moscow 2 1/2 years and Budapest 4 years and managed to cook the 
original plate transformer in a Henry 2K during a contest, even with a fan 
running on it.  It grunted a LOT.  Replaced it with a heavily rated Peter 
Dahl xfmr and no problems.  The voltages will be ok, it's just that the cores 
tend to saturate if you draw a lot of current from the xfmr.  Limit your 
current and you should be OK.
