For audio use this range which uses toroidal transformers with minimal

They are actually the wrong way round - step down is what's needed. (US
amp on UK mains.)


Oops. ;-)

The step down range looks good:

Yup - they're also toroidal.

But I've no idea what loading would be required - if the price
approached that of a replacement 240V power tranny it would arguably be
not worth the bother..??


It might also be economic to have the existing transformer re-wound or
another made to the spec.




Yes indeed, but if it wuz mine I'd strive to retain the original tranny
otherwise it'll end up like a Riley Pathfinder with a Mondeo engine in it -
might make a lot of sense, but who TF would want it?

Anyway, judging by the pix I was sent:
