220v to 110v step down question for Monomachine

HI everyone! I was wondering if it was possible to take a UK Monomachine that is configured for 220v and flip it to US 110v?

If that is not possible, would a voltage converter like this work? https://www.amazon.com/BESTEK-Universal-Converter-Charging-Worldwide/dp/B01E140XWA

Thank you!

Hmmm… the seller I am speaking with is using a voltage transformer in order to use the UK machine in the US, but I just read this in the official instruction manual:

Caution! Use only an Elektron-approved power supply with your Monomachine MKII version. It allows the unit to be used all over the globe without the need of voltage converters. If you need a new power supply the specifications are 6VDC, 3A, 5.5x2.5mm (2.5mm inner diameter) DC power plug (power at center), ungrounded 2 prong inlet (IEC320-C8). Using the wrong type of adapter may result in damage to your unit. Damage caused by the use of incorrect power supply is not covered by warranty. If you are unsure about your power supply, please con-tact Elektron support.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

The official power supply seems to accept AC mains power in the 110-220V range.

Getting the right IEC 2-pin power cord adapter should suffice to make it work.

If it works like my OT and AR bricks, it’s just a matter of a different cord.

thanks! yeah i think the seller has a UK pronged power supply and he didn’t realize it would work with a US adapter, so he’s running it through a transformer. i guess that’s ok lol…
