Convert voltage from 220 to 110

I have a Musicman 112RD 50. My question is how difficult is it to convert the transformer from EU220 to USA 110? Thankyou, Al

New transformer or (easier) get a step down like a variac. I don't see anywhere that they had a 115v winding. Mike.

OOPS- re-read. You need to step UP with a transformer that gives you 220 from 115. Might be easier to just sell it there and get a US geared amp.

Do I need just the Power transformer, or both the Power and the output transformer?
