Hello list,
I have the possibility of acquiring a RX02-BA 115VAC/60Hz standard North
American power. I have a couple of questions concerning the feasibility
of a power conversion on it.

After studying the schematics of H771 of the RX01/02 units and the
manual, there are 4 things to do for a power conversion:

1. Replace H771-A with H771-C or H771-D.
2. Replace power harness
3. Replace belt and pulley
4. Replace circuit breaker

Here my questions:
1. From the schematics, the difference in H771-A and H771-C or -D is the
transformer has no center tap on the US supply. Does this mean that
there's no way for a DIY conversion job? Or it just mean that the
transformer does have a center tap and it's just unwired?

2. Power harness is no big deal, I can just make a new one.

3. Belt and pulley; this is the tough one. Calling UK list members:
anybody has spares?

4. Can the circuit breaker still be bought in electrical/electronics
supply stores?

Thanks.
