Accuphase voltage conversion

I have a Japanese market Accuphase E-370 for which I plan to use an external voltage converter for 120v.    Looking inside this Integrated, it no longer appears to have the jumpers which allowed easy voltage conversion.    Are all the new Accuphase products similar?     Does anyone know how to change the voltage internally?   Thanks

I assume you must replace transformer. "Authorized" dealers will charge arm/leg for it.

Bear in mind that local Accuphase distributor won’t be very happy knowing that you have Japanese unit. By their terms it’s "Unauthorized" and they will simply refuse to provide service.
Contact Japanese service provider preferably via Japanese website.
Tell you’ve moved to USA using Japanese and not English.
The other simpler way is to wire 240V dedicated line out of the distribution box. Thus no internal mods needed.
