ukiahb	Re: Adding Isolation Transformer Mouser carries them for about $12 http://www.mouser.com/catalog/622/1343.pdf Just wire the secondary to wherever the original power cord was tied down, and wire a new 3 wire cord with a ground to the primary (the green ground lead should be connected to the chassis). If you buy a Triad "World Series" model there are two primary windings so that it will operate on 120 or 240 VAC...for 120 VAC they are wired in parallel and the instructions will give the correct colors to attach together.
