I was recently given a Phillips 33FL1785/61R television. It is a 250volt,
NTSC model.

I realize this may sound like a crackpot idea, but could this be
converted
to run on 120v? Would swapping out the power supply do the trick?

I tried contacting Phillips and did a google search to no avail. I'd
hate to
throw this thing out if it could be salvaged.

Thanks in advance


hold it. Important here is to know where do you want to run this TV.
In europe or north-amerika?
It is a NTSC set, but where are yo located?

if you are around Toronto, here we have a place called "house-of-220
http://www.houseof220.com/ who have all the xformers needed in
various sizes to handle these problems

Has anyone thought to suggest to look on the back of the TV set to see
what the input supply is rated. If it is truly good for 120-240 V,
that should be on the supply sticker on the back of the set. More
importantly, what about the frequencies of the channels to which the
set was supposed to be tuned. NTSC is only part of the game, the
other is the actual channel assignment.
