THORENS TD 150 MK II WITH TANDBERG BADGE ?

What's the difference between a TD 150 MK II with a tandberg badge and one without? I just bought one with, at a yard sale, for $3.00 but the problem is that it's a European model--220 volts and a Euro plug. Is there anyway to use it in the states with 110? Can I just get a plug adapter and a transformer or is there more to it than that.

My Thorens 150 could be wired for either 110 or 220. Here's the manual:

You would just have to supply a US plug. I never rewired mine, but it looked prett straightforward. Good luck and great deal at $3!

If it is 50hz you will need a whole new motor and pulley assembly for 60hz. 220 to 110 is a simply wiring change.

Thanks--looks like I'm out of luck as it is 50 HZ. Anyone know what the Tandberg badge means.
