If you have 220 VAC to the tower, why not install a small breaker box and then
install both 220 AND 120 VAC breakers for both the 220 and 120 VAC items? This
assumes the 220 VAC is on a 3-wire or 4-wire cable.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Control box
Thanks for the replies. I mainly wanted to go to 220 as it has less current
draw and I have 220 out to the tower already. I do have a new reversible motor
on the tower that will run on either so that was my logic on 220, that and the
age of all the stuff in the box. I guess I will give it a go and see what
happens.
