Post by: dimmu--borgir on May 04, 2013, 04:17:37 PM

Hello there!

Can anyone in a easy way please explain how to change the powersupply in my two Nintendo cabs from 110 to 220v?

Thanks

Than you need a bigger one....


Unless your cab was built for Europe (the UK) you will not have another option since AFAIK the US and Jap cabs only have 120V and/or 100V transformers respectively....
