Obviously neither of you have worked on a Henry transmitter where only 
one of the many doors is interlocked (and it's not the one that provides 
access to the HV Power supply).

Milton, I hate to say this but if you took from one of the 120's to 
ground/neutral, You've probably just violated code. I think it's been 
since the early 70's that you were no longer allowed to do that.  The 
proper way being a 240-120 step-down transformer.
