    Using UK Pioneer DJM products in US - Plug Conversion

    I have an old UK DJM 707 mixer I am trying to use here in the States. I see the voltage on the plug at 250v so I bought a transformer to step up the voltage of my plug outlet to power on a 250v device from 110 outlet.
    It's not turning on, don't know if a Fuse has been burnt or how to replace it.
    But I noticed the plug itself can be removed and I am trying to find if there is a US Plug I can switch it to.
    If anyone is familiar with using Pioneer DJ products from the UK in the US, prior to the 110-230v builds, would you know if its possible to swap the UK 3 prong plug to a US 3 prong?

    Appreciate the input, nice to be back.


    This two prong piece fits inside this housing that makes it a 3 prong plug (Believe for grounding, could be wrong)

    Do you have the voltage converter set to 50Hz or 60Hz?
    You can buy an adapter that has the UK outlet on one end and the USA three prong plug on the other end.

    But the number of US Supreme Court judges was always 6.
    Then it was 5, then 6, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 7, and then 9.

    I didn't see that ability on the voltage converter.
    Per the instructions it said to change the voltage to 110 which I did

    The converter needs to input 110Hz/60v (from the wall) and convert to 220Hz/50v. I assume that the switch on the converter is for the output, so I'd select 220Hz/50v.

    i hope i didn't jack this up.


    but here is the transformer pics



    The instructions which I believe I followed


    and the 707 power cable outlining the 250v . I WISH there was a way to just swap this to local voltage
