Cool: In that case, the motor is likely to be the only difference, and a 220-240V FW motor is still worth good money outside the Americas (see wikipedia for details on this). If anyone from 110V zone wants to use a 220-240V machine, it's very easy to just buy a transformer. I had a 221- (110V) and the transformer was about $60 - problem solved.
But all the time I had it I hoped the bulb wouldn't blow (which it didn't - whew!). Not many (any) places here sell 110V sewing machine bulbs.
