Jerome, please post what you discover if you find a solution to your Europe to Canada CZ-1 voltage problem. I have emigrated to the USA and next year I will be shipping over my synth collection from the UK, which includes mains powered CZ-1, FZ-20M and VZ-1. I was looking at buying some 110v - 240 voltage converters, but if there's a simple switch inside the Casios that can make them run on 110v that would be much better.
Cheers!
Chas

That's good you have some experience, but please be careful and don't work with instrument connected to the mains.I suppose voltage selector is not switch type, more probably you have to pull out some upper part like connector with some pins, turn it according to some description about the voltage and reconnect it.Let us know how it was...Daniel ForroOn Aug 31, 2015, at 9:37 PM, Jérôme jeromestpierre@...

I didn't bring my soldering kit but I don't think this will be very esoteric.
If the selector is not soldered and doesn't require to take everything apart just to access it I should manage to do it. In any case, if nothing bad happens, I'll let you know how it works!
