Second one I've come across where the standby lamp thinks it is a lighthouse

I'm not the only one to have come across this arson issue. I don't have the
schematic for the 150 , the BV120 schematic has the neon on the HT ac side,
not the rectified and smoothed side. I've not taken the amp apart to explore
wiring but have not found a dropper additional to the internal neon set for
USA 110V mains wiring purposes. What is the work around , separate neon ala
Marshall valve amps etc.

While at it, I suspect (not examined yet but suspiciously bright) that the
mains-on neon is also set for 110V like the other BV150H . *I'm in 240V land
and that will need accommodating as well. This one 2003 manufacture and
without attention, that dropper will *go pyrotechnic in ten more years of
use also

What does the coffee maker?? "sticker" say, for 120 V or 240V
operation?
