Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the 2 channel triple rectos (I think its rev G) have a power tap on the transformer so i can get it changed to work on NZ power? (230 volts) There is a US amp for sale over here in New Zealand.

Only if it has an export power transformer. If the amp was originally made for the US, it will have 120V primaries only.

Not from the topside unless you know the transformer numbers.

Even then I'm not too familiar with export versions to say either way, but I would think that there would be a small circuit board where all the primary taps would terminate, and the line voltage would connect to the proper primary.

Here is a good article on changing out the power transformer on a RK:

I hope that helps,
