You mean the voltage, or the plug?

Different transformers for 110 and 220V, but same top PCB. Look carefully and you will see it is marked 100/220V.

Maybe not a best solution,


Did you have a unused transformer (from Audio amplifier or anything) that have both 110/220 primary winding?
I'm sure you can make step up/down with it...(after safely insulate the secondary winding)


about the rating just make sure the transformer is rated for more then 90W (as far i remember the heater have about 70W rating)


with the configuration:
0-110V
0-220V


step up/down..
