The AC/DC 46-806 has a ballast resistor which could be inserted one of two ways in its socket. When the set is operated in the 230 volt position, extra resistance drops the line voltage to 115; in the 115 position, a jumper wire allows the full line voltage to be used in the set.

I have a 46-806 which uses one of these ballasts. My 42-761 also uses a two way ballast - different type than the 46-806, though.
