[that stuff's below; here's what I've found out...]

Called an electrician who suggested it might be a
problem with the wiring between the transformer
and meter -- apparently not uncommon here in Houston
with the underground, usually aluminum wiring.

So I called the electric company who confirmed that
one leg of my feed was at 120V, the other was at
30sometingV.

The good news is that it was that easy to diagnose.
The bad news is that this is considered to be the
homeowner's problem. So I'm putting in a new line
in, in conduit, at $12/foot. The buyers should
have good power for a long time to come.

Thanks to all for your insight.




That's bizarre that it's you who has to pay when the problem is on the
electric company's side of the meter, my utility fixes anything on their
side on their dime.
