Hi All. THis one doesn't have any visible voltage-selector on the mains transformer though I have yet to take the case off and look underneath. The size/shape of the mains Tx just doesn't scream 'original' to me. It's definitely not slim and tall, indeed I'd describe it as distinctly squat and lumpen.

I'll have to investigate output-transformer replacement, as I can't reinstate the "S-meter Zero" pot with the current kludged-in-place transformer-impostor where it is.
