Converting a MAC 600NT to 120v

[Tonerboy]

Well, I guess I bought a boat anchor. Got a great deal, yeah I know "if it sounds too good to be true....", on MAC 600NT. Wasn't aware that these come as 208v ONLY, at least the regular ballast.
Short of buying a stepup transformer for $40, anybody got a "trick" to make this bugger work on 120v?

look down at the specs, it is a multi voltage unit some wiring might need to be changed inside to do that.

Yeah, the MAC600 NT and the MAC600 E NT are different. The "E", for an electronic ballast, allows you to change taps for 120 or 220. Not so much with the standard ballast unit. So much for a "good deal".
