PDP-8/E H724 power supply and serial interface

I've taken my newly-acquired PDP-8/E apart to clean out the dust and disintegrated foam, but I've not powered it up yet. (In fact it's still in pieces while I sort out the foam). I'll be checking the capacitors before I go much further. Part of the reason for not powering it up is that it's a 110V version, and here in the UK my mains is 240V. Looking at the engineering drawings (on David Gesswein's site, and Highgate) for the H724 (110V) and H724A (240V) supplies, I see transformer taps shown for both voltages, and on the face of it, it should be very easy to convert. Just a matter of moving the connections from tags 6 and 9 of the relay (or "realy" as the schematic calls it :-)) Has anyone ever done this? Another question: There are four 1N4721 rectifier diodes used for the +8V and +15V supplies (two pairs for two full-wave rectified supplies). Someone before me has disconnected one end of one of them. Usually that's because it's gone short, but my meter says this one is OK. Any ideas why? I'm also lacking any serial interface for this machine. I do have some other spare boards; is anyone (especially in the UK) interested in a trade? -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
