I may be moving to Europe (the Netherlands). Quick Google search shows they run 230v plugs. Currently I live in North America which is all 110v.

I think I remember I thought you could simply rewire the transformer on older Williams games to go from 110 to 220-40.

Can I do the conversion on the following games?

The Addams family
Last action hero
Tales from the crypt
Lord of the rings (original version)
Metallica (original version)

Thank you all.

The answer is yes, I bought a Williams Rat Race many years ago and it was wired to receive 230V, someone I know simply changed a few wire that are related close to the transformer and "Voila" 110V was the power needed for the game afterwards, but I don't know where you could look to know how to do so though, maybe the schematics for the games??

Yes, I did the same with Banzai Run, which I moved from the Netherlands to Canada. You have to change the configuration of the wires at the transformer.
