FYI, I went ahead and took the machine all the way apart and figured out
the rewiring. The unloaded secondary showed about 42VAC (21VAC to the
center tap). The primary showed a resistance of 136 Ohms for the original
240VAC configuration. tinning up the extra primary leads and measuring
about, I got the following:
yellow orange brown black <--transfomer primary leads
|__15 Ohm__|__80 Ohm__|__41 Ohm__|
| | | |
| |__115VAC__| |
| |
|_____________230VAC_____________|
The 80 Ohm orange-brown pair seemed to be close enough to 1/2 of the 136
Ohm yellow-black pair to test out on my Variac set to 115VAC. Secondary
showed 42VAC unloaded. After reassembly, the MS20 seems to be doing fine
on 115VAC off a power strip.
Now to dig out the Greenlee and punch the rear chassis plate for a
standard power socket and a DIN-5 at some point.
