Voltage !!!!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #256 of 311 |
Hi I just sold one of my UK 03/rw'S and shipped it Michigan,Foolishly
neither I or the buyer thought about the voltage difference between
our countries, the back is stamped 240v 16W I think USA maybe 110v ???

The buyer in the US said he couldn't power up the unit,

Q. does anyone technically minded know if this would have done any
damage and if so to what extent, I am refunding the buyer and taking
it back.

I WOULD BE PLEASED TO HEAR FROM ANYONE OUT THERE IN 03 LAND !!

Thank you

Neil.
