Direct from Sunbeam seems to be the only way. Most units like this use standard parts shared by many makes, so you can take it into a local electrical wholesale shop or try an online shop like ElectroSpares.
It is a class 2 transformer. The Conair part number is TEAD-57-121600U Input: 120 volts AC 60 Hz 29 Wats Output: 12 volts DC 1.6. You can try getting an alternative as long as it has the specifications as shown above. I wish you luck.
You can safely use any ul approved device using 120v 50 ~ 60 hz if you stay within the limits of it's potential (in your case 2000 watt). You will probably have a loss of efficiency using a step up transformer and will be very limited on the wattage available at the 220v. Most converters are not designed for continuous use and recommend that you buy a converter with at least 25 % more capacity than you will use. Also to get longer life out of your generator, you should use only 75 percent of its capacity for continuous use. A 2000 watt converter will work fine for loads of about 1500 watts or less.
I am not familiar with this make of generator, however I am thinking that voltage regulation and rpm are tied together with this unit. The generator MUST have an output of 60 hertz. This could be 63 hz (when the load comes on it drops to around 60). If the frequency is NOT at the above specs you will burn out anything with a transformer or motor. Now this translates to around, minimum of 3600 rpm on the engine. If you have access to a frequency meter (a kill-a-watt) you can set the speed. I found it best when using the kill-a-watt to use it with a minimum of a 10 foot extension cord. Set the throttle speed so that your frequency reading is 63 hz. If this is the non electronic voltage regulated type of generator, the voltage should come up to around 120 volts and the frequency should be at 63 hz.

Its probably not a bad idea. Thats alot for a 100A panel to handle, a range needs a 50A, a water heater needs 30A, and the heat will need a 50A or a 60A breaker... Plus whatever else is in the house will be a bit more than the 100A service can handle. But if you don't have the money it will do for a while because for the most part they won't all be pulling at the same time. Word to the wise get at least a 30 space panel when you upgrade, I always install a 40 space panel because for the cost difference its well worth it for future needs because you'll fill it up quicker than you think and you'll have space for anything else you may want to add later on. Hope I helped
According to the parts pdf, there is no voltage regulator. Voltage is adjusted by the rpm of the engine. If your have a meter that reads hertz (Hz), you can set the engine rpm by adjusting hertz to 60 cycles (Hz). At 60 cycles the engine is running at about 3600 rpm. Most engines develop their max horsepower at this rpm. If you are loosing power/voltage and the engine speed is not dropping below 3600, than most likely could be problem with capacitor, brushes or diode (bridge diode). The diode converts ac voltage from stator to direct current to power the magnet (rotor). Check for brush wear and test capacitor for value printed on part. It should test with 5% of stated value. Diode can also be easily tested with meter. Good holidays
