Does anyone have info regarding voltage/freq compatibility of cd's
when going from 120/60 to 220/50? ie other than the compact
units (D5,SL-xP7) which use dc input do the motors run off dc
or ac?

All the motors run off DC internally. The motors are very tightly
controlled using servo-feedback circuits.
You should check service manuals to see if the power transformer
has multible primary taps. I think that Philips/Magnavoxes do,
but Sony's don't.

Practically everything sold in Europe has 115/230 V (or even something
like 110/120/220/240). From what I've seen, most European manufacturers
don't bother to make 115V-only models for the USA, whereas most Japanese
do... (value engineering?).
