Rick:
I know you would like to keep it original but even with today's
transformers at 120 volts, primary, the secondary still remains the same for
filament voltage. Another thing I don't understand at this point, why
monitor filament primary voltage? I would think to monitor the true filament
voltage is more critical.

Gary...WZ1M
