It runs on 120V, standard US electric service. Joshua mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyuti Posted August 25, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2022 Joshua, Thanks for the fast reply, but I will have to give this a miss sadly, would have no idea how to covert the power to the UK's 240 volts. Thanks Guy mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guy Guy I was a US expat there in the 70's and we all used transformers then for whatever we shipped over there. 1000 and 2000 watt ones were readily available. The solid state converters now available would be great, if they can handle the starting current of the Byrnes motors. Bear in mind, the 60Hz motors may run slower and hotter on your 50 Hz power Edited August 25, 2022 by Altduck add comment re Hz mtaylor 1 Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cleek Posted August 26, 2022 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) As noted above, 220VAC 50hz European mains power is easily "stepped down" to 120VAC 60hz American mains power by the use of a readily available plug-in converter which are sold to the travelers from America. I expect the 50hz would result in a slower motor RPM than 60hz, but the machine's speed control should make that difference irrelevant. I doubt the minimal torque demand on the motor would occasion any overheating issues. I'd suggest you send an email to Jim Byrnes and confirm that with him. https://www.byrnesmodelmachines.com/contact5.html It is certainly a beautiful machine. If you find that the shipping to the UK negates the bargain price, you might consider Domanoff's near-identical machine now made in Poland at a similar price point. It is not machined from aluminum, but rather high quality acrylic, but it comes in either American or European powered versions and additionally has a powered, variable speed, take up spool for the finished line. The Byrnes machine has a manual crank-operated take up spool. https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/pl4-series-endless-rope-making-machines-with-traverse Edited August 26, 2022 by Bob Cleek mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobG Posted August 26, 2022 Share #9 Posted August 26, 2022 That's a beautiful looking machine! I'd love to see a video of it in action. mtaylor 1 Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"
