My 800SA has no visible provision for switching 110/220, and the
schematic does not indicate a dual voltage primary on the power
transformer, so I'm afraid you're stuck with some sort of external
step-down device. I'd be a little concerned that the devices made for
hair dryers and similar heating devices might have unsuitably high noise
levels when used for a rotator.
