I might buy one from US but I'm not sure if it will run on
230/240 volts or something less. i don't want to damage it.
thanks

the manual says the power supply goes from 100-240 volts.
even if that's not true you will just fry your ps in the
worst case :P

it on, but I will blame you if it gets cooked

you can buy step down transformers for aprox £12 for
300watt

if you feed it 240 and it dont take 240 and it has no quick
blow fuse thingy you will kill it.

they make difrent verisions for diffrent power zones so be
careful mr.,waffle man

what's the input voltage? probably converted DC voltage
anyway? just buy a new adapter.

is it a new one or mark 1?
mark 2s come with switchable power pack
you could always check http://www.elektron.se/ or email them
