I was amazed when I found out that the timer and motor in a dryer was

assumed they would be 240v.
You'd think - and with today's solid state controls you'd think
they'd just run the transformer off the 240 too - but nope - it's all
on the 120 too.

Even on the stuff made by European and Asian companies - so they are
not "world market"

I bet these days the electronics use a wide mouth switcher supply and
don't care about voltage
