8873 filament voltage

[Neil Morrison]

You're probably close to a step down transformer. With the increased
draw these days they often have to crank it up at that end to have
enough voltage at the far end of the line. You may wind up needing to
add a buck transformer to the system to reduce the voltage to 220.
