A couple years ago I wanted to buy a cheap LP copy so I could have a humbucker setup. When I saw the HB 15 watt tube amp for ~$200 (great exchange rate then) i threw it in to the order, even though it was 230v only (I already had the step-down power supply). It's actually a pretty good amp for how I use it. But as I've learned about tube amps here and elsewhere, I decided to investigate whether I could easily change mine to 115v. Yes, I could.
I don't post it here because it's some great breakthrough, but because it took me a while to get the details, so maybe this will save someone else the effort.
Black and red were just connected with a wire nut, so disconnected that. White was just a capped wire, so I tied the white and black with the same wire nut. I made a Y connector for the Faston on the yellow wire to tie in the red so it would be easy to reverse.
Starting point:
Mod, before I taped the wire nut and zip tied:
Fuse was a 315mA, replaced with a .630mA - 5mm x 20mm
