Thanks Lawrence, i too suspect its wired for 240 volts, as i said at the start of this thread the item belonged to a chap who passed away recently and he bought it new in 1969/1970 but the mains lead and other accessories were not made available to me when i got it but unless he bought a new US model in the early 70s and used it in the UK with an external transformer (which i find difficult to believe) it must be 99% a uk unit but until i can prove that i think I'd be better leaving it as a 12volt unit just to be on the safe side. Uk versions of the service manual seem to be as rare as rocking horse poo.
All the best bud and thanks once again to everyone who has played a part in this Sony TC800 A adventure.
