That's not entirely true. I used to own a pair of Technics 1200s that were brought over from Germany, and the PSU on that model could handle 110v-120v 220v-240v and 50hz-60hz. I didn't have to do anything except change the plug.
I see that all of the ones being sold in the UK and Germany advertise the same sort of power supply, but I don't know if the ones sold in the US have the same PSU. It's very likely that it will say the power supply properties where the power cable exits the molded plastic. If it can handle 110v-120v 220v-240v and 50hz-60hz, then you'll only need to change the type of plug :) Dennis -----Original Message----- From: ::P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 5:16 PM To: Dennis DeSantis; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Technics 1200s question hey dennis, probably nto gonna be easy. you can get a step up tranformer from radio shack though, and it will handle the conversion for you ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis DeSantis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 5:04 PM Subject: (313) Technics 1200s question > Hi folks, > > I'm no DJ, so this is probably a dumb question for most of you. > I'm wondering if it's possible/easy to modify the Technics 1200 to have > a power supply that's switchable between US and European voltages? > There doesn't appear to be a handy switch for it the way there is on > lots of computer gear. > Anyone done this? > > Thanks, > > -- > Dennis DeSantis > www.dennisdesantis.com >
