Hello:

I live in a 230V area but need to use a 120V fan to repair an amplifier.
I can only get 230V fan motors here, so i was wondering if i can simply
remove turns from a 230v shaded pole motor to make it into a 120v one?

Thank you.



Hmm, I always thought you could get anything on the planet to any other
place on the planet. How could you not be able to get a 120V fan?

Hello:

The problem is cost. The OEM doesn't have it, people who have it are selling
for 130$ +, that's too much for the original. Customs takes a lot of time
"inspecting" and figuring how much to charge (about 30% on top of that).
