JaneK I bought a 99K made in Canada with a 240 motor at a yard sale (posted on page 394). We went to our local repair guy and he sold us a 110 motor. My DH attached the new motor and the 99K works great! I think the new motor only cost around $30.
I'd ask what size motor the machine has on it now. Just because it was made in Great Britain doesn't mean they put a 240 motor on the machine -- it depends on where they were planning on selling the machine.
