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.


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!!!


I guess you never patched a circuit board. Tools such as Xacto
knives, Dremels, etc. are useful, not to mention a soldering iron.

Over the years I've repaired and/or modified hundreds of PSU boards - but
what you are suggesting is exactly the opposite of what the OP needs, it
doesn't have a doubler but you could add one if you wanted it to run off 60V
the OP wants to go in the opposite direction and run a 120V only unit from
220V if it had a doubler that would be **** easy to disable, but it hasn't
so the only options are use an auto transformer or get a 240V PSU!

Like I said - do please try to pay attention!!!
