Look up "line buck" and autotransformers. You can rig something like a 6-volt, 4-amp power transformer to cut the line voltage down by 6 volts for up to a 480-watt TV. Essentially, you connect the transformer's primary and secondary to cancel itself out and put the TV in series with the result. There was a discussion of this either here on VK or on the antique radio forum recently.
