It has a single reservoir cap, so it's not dual voltage - if you
get it repaired you'll have to use an auto-transformer!


Not necessarily. As I explained else thread, you may be able to
replace a voltage doubler with a full wave rectifier.

in any country." --Hermann Goering.



You can't make the voltage doubler without 2 reservoir caps and the OP
posted links to pictures of the unit which show it only has one, so there is
no voltage doubler to replace with a full wave rectifier, and the bridge
rectifier is there whether its a doubler circuit or not - do please try to
pay attention!!!
