Is it okay to use the 100v tap on the PT as opposed to the 120v tap, I simply don't know !

Thats with 120 wall current or so............Thanks :mrgreen:

Are you using the Trinity transformers? I didn't think they had 100v primary -- just 120v and 240v.

If you are using a different transformer that does have a 100v primary, using it (in a 120v environment) would raise all of your secondary voltages by about 17%. You really don't want to do that. Even if you wanted that for your high voltage, you don't want it on your filaments.

Correct. 100V works nicely in Japan though! :mrgreen:
