Hi there everyone, newb here

I'd like to get rid of my step up transformer wart on my US model MKS-70 and have checked the internal transformer:

Currently soldered on 117v point and 0v point
There are 220v and 240v winding points

The power filter board has a 250v rated glass fuse

1.  So, is the switch as simple as de/resoldering from the 117v point to either the 220v point or 240v point

2. Would anyone suggest using the 220 rather than 240v point?

3. I'd also like to swap out the 2 pin US square power socket for a Euro 3 pin IEC 'kettle' socket - there's no grounding though? Should I just leave the grounding or would you suggest a chassis pin?


Advance thanks

Tim
