...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.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
