The transformer on the pole may have a tap that you power

No, it probably doesn't. And the problem isn't what's coming
from the pow
er company anyway.
The problem is that his neutral connection is bad.

I believe I mentioned in a previous post that the neutral
connection in the meter base could be a problem if it's loose.

"Could be"??

This is an *obvious* case of a bad neutral connection somewhere.

And as has been pointed out by several others, the transformers are factory-wound. The
center tap isn't something that the power company can, or should, move.

I guess I was seeing things on the transformers I looked at. Heck, perhaps the design has changed? The darn things still explode every now and then. What do I know, I'm just a bearded curmudgeon sitting here in a hospital bed dressed in a T-shirt and disposable pull-ups. O_o
