The transformer can be rewired for 110V. The specifics are in the service manual on-site, available for silver and gold members.

I was hoping for a simple answer :) Like a voltage converter

The suggestion Johan gave you, is more simple.

If you need help, it's Utrecht.

Bumping a very old thread, but where can I find this conversion info?  Got a sweet deal on some 4500s and want to convert them to US voltage.

It looks like a very simple job, but if you don't have any experience it probably also means that you don't have the right tools available. Good tools and all "the little bits and pieces" can cost you easily $50++

Just bring it to any electronics repair shop and give them a printout of the service manual. They will have it done in half an hour, I guess (dismantling, making changes, testing and reassembly). Or maybe you have a friend who has a friend who has a friend who studies electronics. Students usually like to play around with that stuff and they have the tools and the skills.
