voltage conversion

2008-02-23 by Atom Smasher

i just opened up my CZ-1 (after both of us moved from the US to NZ) to see 
what it would take to convert it from 120V to 240V.

DOH!! i didn't even have to open it up! on the bottom there's a switch for 
100, 120, 220, 240. that was easy! it looks like the transformer has a 
multi-tap primary.

woo-hoo!!!

i was expecting that it would be more difficult, since the plate with the 
serial number stamped on it is printed with "120V"... obviously that's 
just what it was set to when it left the factory.

does anyone know if the rack-mount VZs (vz8, vz10) have a voltage selector 
switch? on the list of things lost/stolen by the moving company is a 
VZ-10m... if it doesn't have a voltage selector switch i'll hold off on 
replacing it until i come across a 240V model... if it does have the 
switch i'll keep an eye on ebay for a 120V model from the US.

thanks...
