I noticed a post from a few years ago with a guy looking for the same part, he was directed to Island SMT. Unfortunately, they do not currently have any in stock at the moment. This QA unit was used on Q-series machines made by Quad/Tyco, it was als

We are looking at buying a used HELLER 1800 reflow oven. It is currently set up for 480v and our facility is 208v. I know we can either get it retrofitted or buy a step up transformer. Is retrofitting the machine simply moving a tap on the inter
