Thanks for the pics. While I've seen later Japanese made sets (and 1 radiogram, funnily enough I think it was also a Sanyo) with factory fitted internal 240V to 100V transformers those were all hard wired. I've never seen one where the original line cord plugged into the transformer.
I've got a little Kirby-GE B&W portable I found recently. It has USA made GE valves in it (I don't think anyone made compactrons here), but all the other components appear to be Australian made. These were sold with an external step down transformer (no room to mount it inside) and optionally a 12V to 115V inverter. I've seen a few of the GE branded step down transformers (usually powering other imported gear long after the TV was gone), but I've never seen the inverter.
