I'm in the USA and taking a trip to Europe. I originally believed these machines (DA-38, DA-88) to be either auto-switching or to have a voltage selector on the back, but now that I take a closer look, the back of the units only say it's set up for 120V/60hz. No voltage selector, and no indication of auto-switching.

Do these units have taps for 230V operation?

Worst comes to worst, maybe I can just buy a bunch of broken DA-38s while in Europe and switch out the PSUs
 
I've looked everywhere for the DA-38 service manual but I can't find it anywhere online. I popped the top and I notice a little wire which you can stick on two different prongs: a 100-120V prong and a 230-240V prong. I'm not sure if that's the only thing I have to do. I imagine I also have to change the fuse, at least.

I've got the DA88 manual, and while I haven't popped the top, it looks like I can change a little molex connector to the right setting (and probably change the fuse too).

Anyone have the DA38 service manual?
