Try RS components. or Ebay
RS Modern (type) Small Mains Plug (socket) Quad Amplifier 2.5A 250V | eBay
I would use a step down transformer.

Hi ,
look here:
PX0430/SE Bulgin Components | Female Compact Power Connector Panel Mount,Solder Termination,3A 250 V ac | 489-510 | Welcome to RS Online
It is the older type of the power connector, made by Bulgin, UK.

I have a old pair too...
I think that You have taps for reconnecting power transformer to 110V US standard
(inside the chases, under the power transformer)
But please take a look at the schematics - google.
.
BTW I have one amp with a input transformer haddon brand.
And with pot. everything original...
I would like to find another input transformer for other standard Quad II amplifier. Someone have an idea?

Could you elaborate more on how to switch to 110VUS? I want to make an informed decision on which way to go.

Unfortunately you cannot. The power transformer in the original Quad II had only the possibility of adjusting mains input +/- 10%. There is not the possibility of re-arrainging anything inside as it has a single primary.
I know because I own a pair of Quad II of the 100-130 VAC type, which I cannot use here in Europe without an autotransformer.

Sorry, yes seems that is no option of 110V
That is why I said consult the schematic...

.
But it will be even better to add 110:220V transformer prior to amps.
Not huge expence. Mind the double power consumption for 2 amplifiers.

I have just come across this thread. Zoran, can I suggest you try Keith Snook? I believe he may have what you were seeking, but that was 2 years ago!I have a old pair too...

Hi,
the schematic of the Quad II says, the mains trafo has only taps for 200,220 and 240V settings. For USA user its requires a 115 to 240V step-up trafo, or you found a 240V socket in your home (cooker or air conditioner ) were you plug it in.
For a pair Quad II the step-up trafo must deliver appr. 250VA power.
