transformer replacement - anything to watch out for?

2004-04-14 by Julian

Hi there, 

I have an sds8 of which id like to change the voltage of.  

Im over in europe, and the machine was intended for the USA market, hence 115v.

I was just going to putt out the transformer, and replace it with one intended for 240v, but is there anything i should look out for?  The transfomer in there is possibly a toroid, but maybee thats just the plastic enclosure that its in?

Oh, and whilst im writing - i dont suppose anyone has the schematics to the sds8 to hand, do they?  I believe mine to have other faults beyond the voltage issues..

Cheers, Julian
