Re: USA mods

[Vince Goddard <mdsupp@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I've just received 5 IBM home director starter kits and have a question on=
=20
the 220V mod.

Where can I get the 275V MOV? (Maplins don't seem to have them)

OR

Can I put 2 x 140V MOV's in series?
(As I've removed the relay completely, the 140V MOV across the SCR that=20
drives this relay is not needed)

Thanks

Vince Goddard
