amplifier rewiring

One consequence of constantly moving is the accumulation of many little plug converters, the occasional actual voltage converter, and sometimes the rolling up of sleeves and rewiring of high current devices. I finally had a chance to rewire my tube amplifier today. It was delivered to me in France more than five years ago, wired for 220V. I then rewired it for 110 when we moved back, and I just re-re-wired it for 240V. Happily, I ran into an electronics guy here just as I was getting ready to wire 220, and he informed me that France has been slowly ramping up to 240 from 220, so 240 was a much better choice. Here are some amplifier guts:

It all worked great and no explosions as of yet.
