Mac 128k 220V to 110V conversion
Hi folks,
I finally found a 128K here in Toronto. But the A/B is dead. As I have a spare board (known to be in very good condition) that I took with me from Chile, I was wandering if I can convert it to 110V. The board is very different from the 110V board as it is the International version. From what I understand, it can be converted to 110V by closing a circuit and replacing the fuse. I'm not sure, and that's why I'm asking for your help.
This is why I think it can be converted:
This is the fuse warning:
This is the circuit to close (W12):
Hope someone knows...
Thanks.

i wouldn't even change the fuse...
there is no way that machine is going to pull 192 watts @ 120vac -- maybe for .5 seconds when you first flip it on. Other wise pretty sure they only use about 80 watts on/idle.

I got those instructions out of a manual... If not changing the fuse works then go with it...i wouldn't even change the fuse...
