Doesn't anyone have a junk mains operated transistor radio that has a similar transformer with a 240 volt primary?
You can save a lot of money doing it that way, instead of buying a travel transformer.
Panasonic radios used a center tapped low voltage secondary mains transformer so only two diodes had to be used. That can easily worked around it if the transformer to be used doesn't have it.
