Actually your forum name needs to change! The description is of the 'New Educational', this runs an AC/DC style amp straight off the mains with a voltage selector as described above and a mains voltage lamp. The earlier 'Educational' had the same amp, but no voltage selector. The 'Stylist' runs from a 110V autotransformer powering both amplifier and lamp.

As the name suggests the Educational models were aimed at schools and saved weight and complication by doing away with the autotransformer and using a mains lamp. The downside would be a less bright picture.
