Seems I may have been rash in my acquisition of the transformer. I e-mailed the seller, but haven't had a response yet. I didn't want to get a new plug and just stick the machine into the transformer without being sure that it was really meant for 110v. I thought I'd open it up to see if there were any clues inside.
220-240v 1000w on the bottom of what I assume is the heater element? It's clearly been tampered with; each of the wires has a bit of sticky tape on it that's numbered to correspond with a bit of tape labeling each of the pins on the switches. That would make more sense than the guy I bought it from failing to mention the fact that it wasn't 240v.
