HOw do I convert the voltage in my Moog Souce from 110-220v?

I've read that you can easily convert the voltage on the Moog Source from 110v to 220v, but cant find any info on how you perform the procedure..

Cheers,
Jonny

Gotta flip the question around. Do you want to run the Moog using 220 VAC line current? I so, just use a stepdown transformer. You'd be converting the 220 supply voltage to match what the Moog needs(110), not changing the voltage that the Moog requires. I believe some Moogs had internal switches to do the conversion. Not familiar with the Source.

Best, Paul

I've seen quite a few things that have a centre tapped primary for 200V mains range, and you can change how its hooked up to mains so it can run in either 200v range or 100v range. Sometimes you get a switch to do this (maybe not on the panel though - look inside) other times you get pads on the PCB to move the transformer's primary wires around on.

If there's no switch, I wouldn't recommend DIY here if you don't know anything about mains power. Bottom line is, people do die from mis-wiring things.
