Ugh, it seems that finding a power transformer is a much more difficult task then I had anticipated...
The processor as I mentioned is a European style power supply, it runs off of 220 V 50 Hz and 150 W, that last number of the 150 W, is the thing that's causing me trouble, most of the available transformers that I can find are only 85 W
Neither RadioShack your Home Depot carry something as high as 150W ugh, stupid power...
a gazilion of those are sold fromwitin the US for the same price.... In any case, did you read the above posts RE Hrz?
The seond one got a US-inlet and a female plug that could take that Jobo male plug (depending on the diameter of those two holes).
Though NOT electrically safe! in that case.
The links i sent, were for higher wattage at half the price.
What Jnaian suggested is exactly whats in my second link, though buying on Ebay is always safer then any un recognized (to me) online retailer.
In both links are Two way transformers UP/DOWN, and the second has an "american" plug on its wire, so you can plug it in here, and has 1 US 110V outlet at the front, and a UNIVERSAL multi socket next to it, which will take pretty much anything (ecxept for GERMAN, which is why they supply the german standard third pole contact adapter with it) in case you want to use it in Germany and maintain the ground.
AGX - i have never seen the inside of this model, but you might be right about it having a very simple circuit. We can only ask Stone to post a photo of the board if there is one at all.
We use several 2000W units in house.
You might want to sell that unit to someone that has 220/50 and get a USA version.
I posted the link right after your radio shack post. It has not changed.
You can easily cancel an ebay transaction, most sellers prefer to cancel then to fight with a customer.
While this is a personal matter, i do agree that a 220V and 50Hrz machine would better serve someone who has that power rating coming out of his wall, and at the end of the day, you might only be spending 24$ on a power transformer, but it might still end up not being able to use it, or worse, damaging it (though that is yet to be exactly determined).
Either way - you are now on the right track, good luck.

Stone, you assume a great deal, about a great many thingsand you know what they say about assumptions.
Youtube is littered with highly detailed Jobo videos including one of a guy talking for about 45 minutes detailing each and every aspect nook and cranny of his CPP2 machine, and a full line up of drums. There is absolutely no shortage of highly detailed information, including but not limited to photos about Jobo machines and various other "things" you often mention you do not understand due to lack of exposure.
And that is not mentioning the various videos on our channel dealing directly and in details with the Jobo system.
There are endless threads on APUG, LFF, Photo.net, rangefunder forum, and various other sources discussing at length and in great details pretty much any and all photographic system in existence, including Jobo processors and tanks.
If you just missed all of the above, you can find on our website, that there are two detailed articles that would quickly answer pretty much all of your questions at least about the subject at hand. You can find them here:

Forget assumptions, stick to facts - when in doubt - ask google. Because google knows everything, if that fails, ask an APUGer, then be ready to verify their answer on google, as demonstrated with the transformer thing above.
Instead of Google, you could have just clicked on the CatLabs link in his signature.I googled it and didn't find any of these, thanks.

Surely you have an actual computer, Stone. I've read your comments numerous times now re: using your phone to view responses here that have contextual information that is best seen on a screen with more real-estate. Check up on your active threads on a legitimate piece of hardware from time to time.
Anyway I just don't have the time to be sitting around in front of the computer reading threads.
