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

You probably need a transformer to supply 240V tor the table (european voltage), however the AC frequency in Europe is 50Hz vs. US 60Hz and this might be a problem.

BTW, you did not know about difference in AC power in US and Europe?

It seems that  you are happy about having it for nothing. Wow! Nice moral compass.
