Hi
I don't have my manuals at hand but it seems that I recall there
being a small transformer that provided the current for the local
mode operation.
I just don't recall the output voltage. If one knew what the voltage
was suppose to be, one could simply disconnect the motor and
then plug it into 110V. Measure the output of that transformer.
If half the specified voltage, it would be intended to be connected
to 220V.
It is most likely a 110V, as several had said. If so, look around
for some old electronic gear or powersupplies. Most often they
have a split input that can be used as an auto-transformer.
That will get you the 110v from the 220v. The auto-transfomer
has the advantage that it only needs to carry 1/2 the power,
unlike a full isolation transformer that has to carry the full power.

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.
Yup, Tony's made it clear that you folks in fifty-hurts land have a
transformer in the base. Strange, but true.
So, if the OP doesn't have one, he needs to find one.
