Default Voltage conversion on a Hafler P3000

Being in Australia, I'm wondering whether it's worth me getting a
Hafler Transnova P3000. The only question is the voltage - in
Australia, it's 240v.

How easy is it to convert this to 240v? Is it just a question of
getting a step-down transformer?


There are three possibilities:

1. You get an external step-down transformer

2. You replace the internal power transformer with a 240V one.

3. You restrap the internal power transformer for 240V.

Which of the three of these you want to do depends on the particular
piece of equipment. I don't have a P3000 service manual onhand, but
if you write to Hafler and ask them what is involved (ie. does the
transformer have dual primaries and if not how much is one with a 240V
primary?) they should tell you.
