I'm looking to find out what I need to do in order to convert an EATPM from 220v to 110v. So far, I've only been able to find information regarding WPC conversions; I assume this will be more involved. Thanks for the help

Check out page 3-20 of the manual (page 112 of the PDF linked below) for jumper changes required to switch from 230V to 115V. You need to change the jumpers on the connector leading to the primary windings of the transformer.

There it is right there, thank you! Is that it though? Rejumpering, different fuse, and new power cord is the same as WPC conversion (I thought WPC were supposed to be easier somehow).
I think that's it... I can't think of anything else that might be needed...

Oh right, the surge supressor MOV! The machine will work with the 230V MOV in place but will not offer that much protection. To make it right, you need to replace it with a 130V MOV. Great Planes has the right one... part number V130LA20AP for 130v operation.

Ozuba,
Can you post pics of the 220 config as well as the 110 config?
I'd love to add those to the PinWiki!

As promised, sorry it took so long to get around to doing this. 2nd pic was how the machine was for 220v. 1st pic is the 110v setting (actually found on pinwiki eventually). Then, of course remove the 220 cord & replace with a 110v cord. Solder to appropriate places (black replaces brown, green replaces yellow/green, and white replaces blue), check settings, fuses, etc.
