Ron, you might want to consider using a bucking transformer to power it. I use one to power my 1958 Fisher (14 tubes). They were spec'd to operate from 105v to 125v. Many, if not most, areas of the country are running close to that with the occassional surge surpassing it. Locally I'm getting 123v with spikes to 125v. The bucking transformer drops it to about 110v with a significant reduction in heat coming off the chassis. That reduction in heat will prolong the life of the components, most notably the tubes, especially the output tubes. There is no loss of performance.

I use a Radio Shack #273-1511B, 3-amp (I bought a bunch of them). It bucks about 12.6v.
