This was made in China.

What is interesting is the legend on the rear panel also shows 100v 60 Hz
and 230v 50 Hz as choices - presumably with a different transformer(s)?

But this one was marked 120v 60 Hz and I can't see why they'd make the
transformer for that with two windings in parallel if couldn't be altered
to 240v.
