Kif,
The black models were made in both America and Scotland. The serial number will tell where, but the 220V motor pretty much says "made in Scotland".
What type of adapter is the seller offering with the machine? You actually need a voltage converter, which are chunky and weighty.
Yes, if you want to change the motor to a 110V it is possible and easy. Used 110V motors are available online.

I am mainly wondering if it would be possible to put a USA motor on it? Or would it even be necessary if it has the adapter? Lastly would it be the same high quality as the American one?
Sorry for all the ???
Thanks for any and all help,
