using 230Volts Hifi components in the Usa


Hi,

i would like to know if there is a way to use a cassette deck from England (230 volts), in the Usa?Is there a step down transformer that adjust the voltage and frequency to those used in US?

                          Be certain your gear can function properly, at 60 Hz.

                                   Especially: the Cassette Deck’s motor.

                                      Inverters/converters are available.

 

 

                                              Examples:

 They (good ones, anyway) can get salty, depending on your device's current draw/consumption.

       Some cassette deck motors run on DC, after power supply conversion and would not be affected.  Others: AC/synchronous.

                                           Best to check!
