There's a converter you can use, or you can replace the motor. The original motors sometimes come up on Ebay, or someone may know where to get one. On some machines, the motor is easy to replace--not sure about FW because of light fixture--Billy, does it have to be rewired?
I have the motors for them and you just change the light bulb out to the American 110v type. It is very simple to do and you can do it for a few dollars and 30 minutes or less.
