Hello,
I've just picked up a Marantz 4230 receiver & Technics sl-d2 turntable.
The receiver has a strange power plug with 2 round pins. Plug has "made in Germany" 250. I will try to upload pictures.



Turntable power plug has what looks to be normal 110v plug with 2 flat pins but has a white plastic plug cover with 6a 250v stamped on it.



I know very little about electronics & don't want to fry anything by doing something dumb.
1. The turntable has a switch for 220-240v or 110-120v. With the switch set for 110-120v, Do I need to change the plug?
2. On the Marantz receiver.... I don't see a voltage switch but I havn't cracked it open yet. The previous owner said the unit works but bulbs are out. Are the bulbs multi-voltage or does the voltage switch take care of that? (will I need 110v bulbs)?
3. Is this a major job or just a matter of flipping a switch & changing a plug?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

The two round pin plug will have to have the cord end changed, to an appropriate nema 5-15R plug. the other one will work just fine as long as you understand that the unit does not have an equipment ground running to it. Like my old Marantz it may have a chassis grounding screw terminal on the back, but it may not. if you live in the US, switch it to 110-120 volt. Bulbs will be fine. When the rating says 6A 250V, it simply means  the plug is rated for 6amps and is only rated for circuits up to 250V. If you have any other questions, talk to a union electrician in your area.
