I've never tried to make a bucking transformer box for my radios, but I saw these on EBay and wondered if they could be adapted as bucking transformers to step down my 121v at the socket to closer to the voltage my old radios were made for?
I'm guessing amps and other considerations would make that impossible, but these are cheap.
