Oracle psu -help??


Hi there,
I have just taken delivery of an Oracle Mk 11 form the states. Strangely enough the psu/transformer is marked as 220v input. I'm assured the table was used for 18 years with this transformer from 110v.
I mistakenly thought it was modified - it's not but on this info , I think Oracle are just playing safe and saying not to use it.
They say source one locally - but source what

The psu is marked as outputing 27VDC - the sheet for the voltage stabiliser says it (psu)should be outputing 34-36 VDC into the voltage stabiliser which converts (I hope) to 27VDC INto the turntable.
Would a 220V have worked ok for all these years from 110v.
Any ideas how I find out - it seems strange it would be marked 220v input and not be.
Short of plugging it in and possibly blowing it up, I'm stumped !
Any HELP APPRECIATED AS i'M DYING TO HEAR THIS
Thanks,
Si

I'm not exactly sure, but I think you can get a convertor from Radio Shack that transforms 110v to 30VDC for about $30. Speed adjustment control on the turntable motor and a strobe/disc would take care of the rest of the problem, short of ordering a new psu from Oracle. I believe Oracle also has an upgraded psu as well, but I'm not sure of the cost ($$$).
