Sony CD player differences 100v vs 230v - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello, many manufacturers produce same Cd players for different markets and voltages. Could anybody say from experience, are there usually some differences between servo or output microschemes inside? I mean the only difference is usually only the power supply stuff like trafos and power board

I'm currently have the Sony X7ESD cd player for 230v, but I need some audio and servo boards to replace and I'm wondering if the 100v version have same boards like the 230v version. Usually it's a lot easier to find the 100v version for better price.
Thanks for the opinions and answers.
