$1850 is a good price for this amp. I know because it is what I use in my rig right now. Fucking LOUD!!! If you run Kt90's in it you end up with easy 200watt of valve POWER. Yep 110watt PER SIDE. Thats the power of 2 standard valve heads
Hey man is it the older VHT or the newer FRYETTE model.
If it is the VHT ya don't need the stepdown, it has a multi tap transformer that requires 2 wires to be de-soldered & soldered together to make it 240volt, a replacement fan from Jaycar & a new fuse. I know because I have one as well as a pittbull UL that has been converted to 240volt.
