anybody know where the mth z4000 are made, one of my thai factory worker friend had some mth work in her country.
currently playing with windings lionel zw to get it working on 240v
Wouldn’t be easier to insert a 1:2 transformer in the power line. 500 watts on the bay for $40 US.
I made my own 500 watt transformer using a commercial grade transformer and a variac. Total cost about 60 bucks.
