- Some friends of mine came to the US with several
- pieces of equipment from FRANCE. They are all 220 Volt
- at 50 HZ. and none of them have switches to set the
- or separate transformer taps. I need to know if I will
- fry their stuff if I plug it up to standard US 220
- volt 60 cycle power ? If anyone can advise me on any/all
- of the following and/or suggest the most cost effective
- way to get 50 hz power, I would be MOST appreciative :
-
- 1) An Armstrad PC. The power supply for the PC is in the
- display unit and passes DC power to the system unit
- through a cable. Switching Power supply used to derive
- with very non-standard connectors.
- 2) A musician's audio power amplifier hand made somewhere in
- France. There is a HUGE transformer to step down the AC and
- it only has the one 220 v primary winding. Probably needs
- 250 Watts of power.
- 3) A cd player with a cheesy little power transformer, that I
- could replace.
- 4) A musician's mixing board -- low power consumption but lots
- of little analog circuits.
-
- You can e-mail me or post it your response to this group.
- THANKS.......
