Does anybody here now if it's possible to change from 110v to 230v on the Color Classic? I bought one from ebay and expexted it to have the standard 110v/230v switch on the back, but sadly it didn't. This is a US Color Classic and I need it to work in Norway on 230v. Does anybody now if it's possible?

I found the service manual for the Color Classic and there it say's "90–240 VAC; Universal power supply ". Does that mean that it's just for me to plug it in and it will adjust it self to the right voltage??? Anyone that now anything about this???

You are reading the specs correctly. The Color Classic can use AC power between   90-240 with a Frequency Range between 47-63 Hz. I guess you just need to find the correct cord. The Color Classic is a very popular old computer. It is very nice as is and forms the foundation of a great many modifications.

Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

You where right, I just plugged in a normal power cord that I used on my other old mac's and started it. Everything works great. Thank you for the help!

That's great you got it working. I've always wanted one of these machines. How expensive are these machines ?
