I'm not scared of it(or at least not any more than 120V or the 20kV in
monitors), and it would be relativley easy to install a 220v outlet, but it
would be more convenient to convert it to 110v. There is an unused 220v
outlet in the attic I could bypass and reroute it to the basement, and
there is any empty spot in the breaker box, but it's more fun to play
inside the Series/1. I'll learn house wiring later, right now I'm just
going to convert the system. BTW, I have pulled the 220v motor out of the
floppy drive, and the transformer is already set for 110v, all I need now
is a new motor, cord and fuse and that will be done. The 4967 needs two new
motors(one for the actual drive, one for the colling fan) and a fuse(I
kinda have a cord hooked up), and the CPU jst needs a new fuse and cooling
fan motor. I'm ignoring the 4959 right now, I don't really need it yet, and
I haven't looked at the 4968 tape drive yet.
