Hey folks. I will soon be the proud owner of an Amstrad PC2086 being shipped from a very generous gentleman (terrapindundee from the old-computers forums) from the UK. It is the first Intel-based PC I ever owned (my folks bought it when I was 12 years old), and I'm looking forward to having it back again.
Unfortunately, the machine sounds to be built with a PSU that is based on the 220v UK standard. Does anyone have experience with importing UK-based machines into North America? I'd like to convert this over to a standard 110v plug/PSU, but I've never done anything like this. Given the amount of amperage delivered through a wall plug, I'd like to do it without frying myself.
Any suggestions on where to go? My thanks.
