> Argon power supply voltage conversion to 240V? *

I live in Australia where the mains voltage is 240V, but most cheap lasers
are from the US and run off 110V. I was wondering if it is relatively simple
to modify a cyonics argon laser supply to run at the higher voltage. I don't
know what the model no. of the power supply is, but it is a Cyonics Uniphase
supply and the tube it powers is a Cyonics Uniphase 2201-40MLA.

The reason I want to do this if its not too difficult is because a 240-110v
transformer with the required power rating is about $200.

I have looked in Sam's FAQ but can't find anything about changing the
voltage...

Thanks for any help!

200 buck is probably less then it would cost you to modify the power
supply..
