Can an ADCOM GFA-5802 be converted to 220V

Does anybody know (for sure!) whether an ADCOM GFA-5802 can be converted from 110V to 220V. I contacted Adcom (via their website) and the answer was: "To best of my knowledge all 5802's are convertable". I will be moving to Europe and want to make sure that a 5802 can be converted before buying one.

Ask Adcom if the transformer has a split primary winding (so that it can work on 110 or 220 simply by wiring the windings in parallel or in series). This is very common in modern electronics, and sometimes the connection is changed just by moving a jumper (or even a switch).

Adcom can give you the details of rewiring the large toroid transformer and setting jumpers for the smaller control transformer as well as fuse replacement. I changed my amp from 220V to 120V.
