too far removed.....

If one puts 110 on the 220 line, that drops the 118 to 59vac.
Therfore, 59 less 1.4 for the rectifier drop = 57.6 VAC, with the
filer cap, 57.6 VAC x 1.414 you jump to 81.4 VDC not too bad.

A couple of diodes and it's under 80V, use the second secondary to
drop the first secondary ? not sure exactly how that works, but if
it does, then great.
