I purchased an HHB Radius 50 preamp and comp from America a few months ago and finally brought it home to Germany, but I don't know if I understand how to make it work with 230 volt current.

Here is the schematic

The Radius 50 is the same thing as the TL Audio 5050.  On page 4 is the power section.  Can somebody tell me what I must do?  I have an idea, but I just really don't know enough about this to know if I'm right.

What I was thinking was just rewiring the connection between the power switch and 115 volt indicator to the 230, but that also means I gotta switch the resistors too, right?

I will ask some local techs about this as well, but thought I'd ask here first :)
 
I don't see the problem... There are two positions: 115 V and 230 V.
If you have 230 V, I would choose the corresponding position. (That is: both primaries in series.)
 
Here are the rest of the photos... making small url links gets prettying tiring really fast.  Thank you.

It looks like they fitted 2 links (0R resistor) in place of voltage selector switch on the pcb.
At this point I would check if the transformer works for 230V / 50hz

Yes, you just have to move the links (0-ohm res) to the 230 position.

That's what I thought, but didn't know for sure!  THANK YOU!!!  ;D
