I want to buy a vintage European coffeemaker with a heating element (220V 50hz) and do whatever is necessary to get it to plug safely into a standard two-prong or three-prong wall outlet here in the USA.
I've read some answers here about converting a 220V appliance to 110V, but the answers assumed more knowledge than I have about this subject, which is almost zilch :(
Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere for doing this sort of conversion? Do I have to take the machine apart to get at its insides, or can the work be done on the wire and plug outside the machine?
Thanks
