In the basement today we have quite a rare machine (for North America:) The BBC Master 128. It's an evolution of the original Acorn BBC Micro from 1981. My first task is to service the PSU and convert it to 120v, then see if this machine is working.

You are probably already aware, but in case not: by far the best modern resource and community around the BBC micro is stardot.org.uk. Had a quick search and there is a wealth of knowledge on this exact topic. https://stardot.org.uk/forums/search.php?keywords=Master+us+120v&fid%5B0%5D=3

Have fun! The BBC is close to my heart and I will love it forever.
