Hi All,

I have finally got around to doing this conversion on my Black Hole. I have changed the transformer wiring and will replace the plug. Is that all I need to do to convert it to 240V? I am wondering if the line filter needs changing.

Thanks, SV

Given the game has been operating on 110V all it's life, I would suggest it definitely needs replacement. You will also need a 275V Varistor (Jaycar) across the input of the EMI Filter.
