[urq] No Audi Content -Q for electronics gurus

[Bob]

Finding good multitap transformers now a days is tough. However you can 
always wind your own if need be.  Im not sure I would recommend using 
the other 55v tap, you may exceed its rating and fry that one too.  Im 
assuming you can get 110v into the area? If so the cheapest way might be 
to just get a separate step down transformer to power that 55v circuit.

my 2 cents.
