I have been looking at featherweights and was just wondering, do the featherweights made in Great Britain (or outside the US) require a transformer to operate in the US?
|
Some were made in GB for sale in the US, those don't need transformers. Don't ask me which models but I know all the motors were marked with the voltage they used.
|
Thanks, that helps me out a lot. I had to use a transformer when we lived in Germany and think it affected the motor on my machine.
|
I know my Pfaff has a switch to change it to US voltage. For some reason that tickled me. Don't know why. Just struck me funny.
|
My White Featherweight was made in Great Britain in 1963, no problem with the current. May in Jersey
|
great info, thanks
|
Some may require a converter to work in the US. US uses 110v and UK uses 220v.
|
You can change the motor out to 110v or you can buy a step up converter for $30 or so.
