C2D voltage change 230V to 115V?
Greeting all, I'm new here and this is my first post and a happy new owner of a beautiful C2D. However it's a 230V model and I have to convert it to 115V. Does anyone have the service manual or know how to make the change? I know I have to double the fuse but not sure how to do the voltage change. Appreciate any help. Thanks, Russ

Hello and welcome to NUF,
besides replacing the fuse (with one having a double max current compared to the 220V one), there should be a switch on the PSU unit to set it to 110 V (you need to open the C2D to do that, not hard to find)

Thanks, it turned out the seller already did the conversion so it's good to go. It sounds fantastic. I played an A100 through a 122 back in the day and man it's great to grab drawbars again.

I suggest to check what value of fuse you have now. Maybe the seller did not know about that and only changed the transformer switching.

Good call, it does have the original 125mA fuse, although oddly enough it didn't blow when I powered on the organ. Will be replacing that asap. Thanks for pointing this out.Mr_-G- wrote:I suggest to check what value of fuse you have now. Maybe the seller did not know about that and only changed the transformer switching.

So on a US voltage (115V) C2D, is the correct fuse 250mA or 300mA and is it slo-blow or fast-blow?

250mA (but also 300mA, see this discussion post143708.html) is OK and same type as the 125mA you already have = slo-blow
