MPC 60 or 3000 Power Supply

Hello,

Have been looking arround for a 3000 or a 60 but not having much luck in the UK.

I have considered importing one from the USA but would like to see if anyone has done the same, and how to deal with the conversion of the power supply.

I am no electrician, but am pretty sure it wouldnt be a great idea to just use one of those converter plugs you take on holiday with you.

I noticed the 3000 has a kettle lead type output for the power, does this mean you could just put a UK kettle lead in? Or is the actual PSU different

Am not sure how the 60 works (think the power cord is attached).

Would appreciate a response from anyone that could help!

Nope...At least not with an mk I...

Cheers ReckOne.

ganstas paradise. So does it have the 3 pin kettle lead style attachment, and does anyone know if you can just switch the leads, or if you would have to change the PSU inside?

Some MPC60's have the power cord attached to the unit you can't unplug it unless you take the whole thing apart from the inside.

Aha! I knew there were two versions of the mkI but didn't know that the power chord differs.

DO NOT JUST SWITCH THE LEAD!!

you'll be pushing 220v into a 110v rated machine. you'll need a voltage convertor

thanks manilla. Anyone else use this method?
