> Is there anywhere in the US that still has 120/240 volt power?
Most residential in the US is 120/240 - even 123/246 as utilities
push the limits to minimize transmission losses.
Just for fun, I just checked my line voltage. Here in a semi-rural
area on Saturday morning with no particularly heavy load conditions
(neither heat nor A/C), I'm seeing 122.5/245 V. If I were rewinding,
I would consider 208/220/230/245 and maybe 260 (or 208/220/235/250)
as I expect the overvoltage to continue to worsen.
The increasing number of devices with switching supplies will not
be impacted by 20% overvoltage, but tubes, etc. don't like even 10%
overvoltage if you're looking to get maximum filament life.

240 is the original operating voltage. Considering the cost of the
tube, I don't want to starve the filaments by operating at the lower
voltage.
Is there anywhere in the US that still has 120/240 volt power?

But he should have them add a tap for 240, too.

My vote goes hands down to the folks at Heyboer

Vendor For Transformer Rewind
A while back I had picked up a Henry 3002A amplifier with a shorted
transformer. I am interested in locating a vendor to re-wind the
original (or supply a replacement) that will not require butchering
the chassis, along with adding taps on the primary for 208 and 220
(club station is 208, house is 220)
