Title: Rewire 220v crack to us voltage
Post by: Bhumble on December 18, 2019, 06:02:31 PM

Would it be very difficult to rewire a 220v crack to us voltage and would it require replacing components?

If it is the first version of the Crack, the power transformer would be a 240V unit that can't be rewired for 120V.

If it is the latest version of the Crack, the power transformer can be rewired for 120V in a few minutes.

(Never buy a kit unless the owner includes the manual btw!)

“Never buy a kit without manual”
Well that’s good advice you can get a manual from the company as a pdf but they are not Inexpensive

I mean it’s $15 if I recall correctly. That’s not NOT inexpensive, especially considering the cost of the whole kit.
