Sorry that we can't do the 240V tap folks. It's kind of a long story, having to do with our strong commitment to the legacy of our chassis layout and deciding what to compromise on to get the best features for the size of the power trans. There are so many terminals on the PGP 8.1 ( there are 11) that something had to give, and so we sacrificed the universal taps.

What we have done as an alternative( I really do appreciate our offshore customers, and we have many, in spite of this power thing )is to come up with a really nice, hunky, step up/step down autoformer, that can handle anything from 100V to 240V. It's big enough to run a pair of amps amd a preamp with VA to spare.

Note that this is an autoformer, not a transformer. It connects the power trans primary directly to the mains, and functions more or less as an extension of the power trans primary.

If you have specific questions regarding pricing, etc., please take this to the bottlehead forum where I can be more specific.
