Hello,

I have a crack that I built in 2015.  The manual for this says revised in 2013.  I did install the speedball upgrade.

I am in the process of selling this and have a lot of interest in Sweden.  They are asking if it can be converted to 220.  I know the new kit says it can but does that also apply to this version.

Thanks,
Tom

No, the first version of the Crack had separate power transformers for 120V and 240V operation. 

They could use a 100VA step-down transformer and it would work fine though.

That explains it.  No sales to Europe I guess then :)
