Default Re: Vintage sears Silvertone radio safety question

I stupidly plugged it into a US to UK adapter which didnt change the voltage from 240 to 110
Oops, with a bit of luck only the bulb has gone pop, the valves run at a much lower temperature and will cope with twice the voltage for quite a while. And do the usual checks before powering up again, "that capacitor" etc.. A new bulb will help the rectifier live longer too.
