.... start using spell checker will you.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Smart ass.

Years ago my "pea sea" had a program that not only checked spelling as you typed but also grammar. It would indicate when the improper word was used and if you forgot to capitalize the first letter in a sentence or name. I often wonder why it is not done like that any more.

The main consideration is to select the tap that results in the proper filament voltage and not worry about what the plate voltage is. This why I like separate filament and plate transformers. If you ever move some place where the line voltage is different change the taps to reflect that difference.

So don't do 250v taps now, do what's on the meter aka 240v.

Common sense says do what is applicable NOW and not what something MIGHT be later at some point in time somewhere else which is as yet undefined.

Just get a 220 extension cord, unplug the dryer when not in use, then plug in the extension cord and run it to the Amp....

Ok what about 10/2 or 8/2 outdoor conduit, with appropriate connectors or the extension cord better ?

I'm sure you could make it work, as long as you use heavy enough wire...Me personally, since were talking about messing around with 220, I would feel safer using a regular 220 extension cord. But that's just me.

I took a reading and it shows @242-243 volts, is this okay for amp to be co figures for 240 or 245 or 250 volt?

Yes, amp can be terminated as 240vac. You might see a bit more voltage than 240vac with no load. 240-243vac is fine. When the load is applied the voltage will probably drop a bit anyway. And be careful and take your time! Wouldn't hurt to purchase some lockout tags from Home Depot or somewhere as well so no one else happens to turn the breaker back on while your messing with it. Some lockout tags/devices keep the breaker from being able to be tuned on. And double triple check the power at the breaker and at plug for power before starting any removal or messing with things. Just some food for thought. Good luck and again be safe.

I don't know why I am responding to you AGAIN in this regard because it is obvious that you do not pay attention to what anybody says and I am even more convinced you are just trolling but here it goes yet again. Please refer once again to the post here: http://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/electrical-question.189807/page-2#post-529505

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TAPPING FOR EXACT MAINS VOLTAGE IT WILL CHANGE DURING THE DAY AT PEAK LOAD TIMES. WORRY ABOUT GETTING THE PROPER FILAMENT VOLTAGE REGARDLESS OF THE TAP SETTINGS. START AT 240 AND GO UP/DOWN FROM THERE.

Basically I'll have it all put together then plug it in once done and gone over a few times making sure just in case.

Then I'll pray LOL
