Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT

Recently I purchased a clearaudio emotion TT on eBay from a European seller for what I thought was a great price. However, upon arrival I realized that it's motor is rigged for European voltage and not compatible with American voltage. NChanging a power chord did not fix the issue as the platter spins at somewhere near 40 rpm which leaves records sounding like the chipmunks. Is it possible to change the motor? Is there anyone familiar with clearaudio products that could let me know what solutions are available? eBay issued a no fault refund to both me and the seller so I essentially got the TT for free but I would really love to get it up and running as it would be a massive upgrade for me.

Cheers and thanks for reading,

Shane

Transformers don't change frequency.  The best suggestion you've been offered is to change pully's.  that requires that either you can calculate the right pully size and bets or the OEM has done it for you.  A bit tricky as the effective diameter of the pully is its rolling diameter that might be slightly different than it's measured diameter.  good luck.
