Hi all,
I'm going to buy an origina IBM 5150 (model PC 130A) PC and want to use it in Europe. It got a sticker on the PSU that says input voltage selector 110V/220V. Does this mean it can be used on in European power?

Do i just have to flip the switch on the PSU?

Thanks,
Rob

If there's a selector switch you need to move it to the 220V position of course. But with these old buckets it can happen that it has a jumper wire inside the PSU which has to be moved.
