At the risk of being chased off the list...

The same transformer in question 1 has a primary tap at 110VAC.  Is it
unadvisable to run the primary at this tap given a line voltage of 123VAC?

Using the 120VAC primary, the 110VAC tap is a bit too low.  I was thinking
if I run the primary at the 110VAC tap and use the 104VAC secondary tap, I
might get closer to 115VAC on the output.

I assume this isn't as horrible as my first question, but I assume there are
some drawbacks to this plan as well.  Is it simply an effeciency thing that
won't harm the transformer or is there more smoke risk?

Thanks again guys,
