This is one area that is fun and sure can save a ton of money if you are careful and take your time. Also as stated earlier, you can design to the voltage the YOU want and not have to accept something "close".

Bubba -- you did a pretty good job emphasizing safety. Two more tests I would add, although probably not necessary are if you were working carefully:
1 -- Measure the resistance between the 120 volt winding and the core. It should be approximately infinity.
2 -- Measure the resistance between the coil(s) you wound and the 120 volt winding. It, too, should be infinite.
