AEG PLS control gear
The original gear inside the lantern is wired to a very high standard, and despite years of use, is still silent. Its rated at 220v, so applying +10% -5% rule, it means 242v is the maximum and 209v is the lowest. It seemed to run very happily when I powered it, so I think it'll stay for now until I decide I want to regear it to 240v

You can step down the voltage to approx. 220V with a 240V to 24V transformer. It is not likely to have trouble with 240V, but it does overdrive the tubes by that 10% and the capacitor is running closer to its limit
