1. Use a Variac or 230v to 110v Auto transformer.
2. You will soon find out if its 110v or 230v

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.

Do you guys know of a failsafe way to check if a
Teletype is for 110
or 220V? I've bought one which has a power connector which seems like
US mains. The motor is 50Hz, but I guess that won't make a difference.
Any quick way to check without completely dismantling the machine?
If the motor is verifiably 50Hz, the probability is overwhelming that
it's 220V.
