[sdiy] Converting 220 gear to 110

[mark verbos]

Scott,

I bought a Korg MS-50 from England and converted it to 110vac. 
Unfortunatly, I had to put in a new transformer (normal dual 18 volt 
deal), but that was only about $15 and there's lots of space inside. It 
works very well. Oddly enough, I moved to Germany 2 years later and ran 
the damn thing on a power converter, but that's another story and now 
I'm back in the states, so it's water under the bridge. ;)
