I bought an used 5150 Mk1 in US and I live in France.
This amp was made to work in 110V because this is the norm in US? but I need to make it work in 230V.

A technician told me that's a switch to do that "near the power cable". But as I can see, there is no APPARENT switch from 110V to 230V (look here :http://i17.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/57/3c/55_12.JPG), but maybe he meant the switch is INSIDE the amp ??

What do you think of that ?

You need to have a new Power Transformer installed in the 5150 or Purchase a StepDown Transformer.
