All this talk about the transformer in the base made my think. I
didn't get a base with this one, but did get a separate large

weird connector.

Hi Sander
I suspect that is a step down transformer but, from the connector,
most likely for some other piece of equipment. I'd plug the 220V plug
in and measure the output at the screw on connector with a meter.
If you want to save the cord with the 110v end, just cut that screw
on connector off and wire the end directly inside the 33. It sounds
like you'll be in bussiness.

If the motor is verifiably 50Hz, the probability is overwhelming that
it's 220V.
Probably not, actually. My supplied-in-the-UK ASR33 is 50Hz and has a
110V motor, and has a big transformer in the base to allow it to be used
on 240V AC mains. So have other UK models I've looked at.
