Hmm I've been looking & thinking [always dangerous] If the service manual is to be believed moving the cables from E to D will make it 220v input... Cant guarantee it though & I don't think any more pictures are going to help i'm afraid.
Either way you'll still need a stepdown which makes changing it an exercise in pointlessness [unless you planning on moving to Europe!]

Hi James,
Thanks for your input so far....as I haven't a clue about moving cables etc. a stepdown transformer looks like a better option for me at least,unless I can find someone on here to do it and check it all out for me.....I don't expect it for nothing obviously,but I suppose someone possessing the skills and test equipment could easily do it......know anyone?....ideally not too far from London?

Hi Al,
Sorry Ive been busy with other stuff....and thanks for your help so far...
I managed to order and get the fuses I needed and as I was out that way called in to Rob(Puffin). connected it up to his 100V transformer and got Sound!! but only from one channel and only with the source direct switched on....so that's something at least.Ive been meaning to post an update....Now all I need is someone to go through it and check it all and perhaps fix it for me as Rob has lent me the transformer....any takers?
I really need someone that knows the PM-80 as I have another one as well,(but a MK2)also not working...

According to those schematics it should be easy to set it to 240V.
