STUDIO COLOR 575s ~ Can a 208v be made 110v?

[QUOTE=dakota;45474]Hi! {my 2nd first post, lost the other one, please be kind}:o

The production house I work in has a group of sco 575s units. Most of them are 110v, and two 208v. I recently started to go through to PM all the units and discovered I have a 208 & a 110 in the shop in various stages of destruction. It was brought to my attention a question of would it be possible to take the PCBs from the 110v unit & swap them out with the 208v unit to create an operational 110v unit to be put back in service.

I will be testing the 110 boards by swapping them 1 by 1 with a known good unit to make sure they are usable. But is there anything else on the 208 unit that will not play nice if the boards are converted with the 110s?

Thanks!

Are these truly Studio Color 575's and not the S or M models? To the best of my knowledge, the only Studio Color that would not take either voltage was the "M", due to the magnetic ballast - all the others have switching supplies for both lamp and motor, and should take all normal voltages (100 or so to 240 or so) with no changes - the supplies auto range.
