Default re-wiring Gaggia Coffee Espresso?

Just accidentally bought a Gaggia Coffee Espresso which works on 240 volts.
Is it possible to rewire it for 120V please? Or is the transformer
different?

Does anyone know if this would be a major pain in the neck to change or if
there is an exploded view anywhere? I have tried using a reasonably
powerful voltage converter and it blew the fuse immediately!

It is a curious wide, lower-slung very modern all stainless steel unit with
three side-by-side buttons, not the one looking like the Baby shown at
http://www.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia/newcoffee.cfm

I am trying to replace my Baby which endemically cant produce crema or
proper coffee consistently and leaks like a sieve.

(I am hoping these units aren't the same inside but clothed in different
outer casings)
