...there is a degree of "sameness" with all sources into the Placette.  It may just be the variac or the wall wart or both. 

I talked with Guy back before I made the purchase and his recommendation was to use an external step down transformer rather than replacing the internal transformers.  Well I do not have a step-down but I do have the small variac so that is what I used.  I just pulled the lid off my Placette and the power transformers actually have dual 115V primaries, so I will be able to convert the unit to 230V operation.  Everything is glued down in there and directly soldered in place so I will talk to Guy first before I make the change...it might be a little bit tricky.
