anyone tried to replace the varistor in the power input box ?

I have to change the varistor for my LOTR since it is a US 120 voltage and we use 240 voltage here, and I do not want to use a converter.

Thanks!

They are simple, just solder it in. Note which side of the varister has the markings so you put the new on in correctly.

You will also have to change the main fuse to a 5ASB and change the transformer's jumpers. (It should be in the manual)
