If you have one, you could take it apart and check? I'm surprised someone hasn't done it yet. |

Not seen a clear shot of the of the 120V transformer, Cliff took a couple of photos of his but only saw two primary wires, unless I'm mistaken (which does need checking). |

It was mentioned in the Pace thread. Aaron didn't comment about it. I think because he's not going to condone circumventing local dealers. Something tells me he would've commented if it wasn't possible. ;D No big deal though. One could always use a step-down transformer. If I lived where there was 220v power, I probably would have one myself. Historically, there's been a lot of equipment that's less expensive in the US market. I convert old Conn Strobe tuners to 220v and change the calibration circuitry for 50hz, because relatively few of them were made for the European market. |

He is the Director of Marketing not Engineering, nice conspiracy theory though heheh. But anyway someone needs to check with Cliff or find a photo of the back of the 120V version. I can't tell from this photo, which shows Cliffs mod adding a 40V secondary aux power supply along with some creative fuse mounting. |

I suspect they use the same transformer. If the 220v model has a dual primary winding but the US version does not, what other conclusion could you come to other than protecting the foreign markets? Aaron knows that. Come on! |
