I have an older am/fm receiver (circa 1974 - Panasonic).  If I take the
receiver to the U.K., would a voltage transformer (220/110 I think) be
sufficient to allow me to use my receiver, speakers and CD player at a
standard U.K. electrical outlet?  (U.K. stands for United Kingdom, for those
of you not in the know...)  Also, by voltage transformer I am assuming that
the voltage coming from the outlet (220 or 240) would be converted by the
voltage transformer to 110/115 so that it could be used by my receiver.

BTW, my PC has a switchable Power Supply (110/220). Is it sufficient to get an
adapter for the plug for the main unit or do I need additional hardware.  I am
assuming that the monitor would need a voltage transformer just like the
stereo receiver.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Please e-mail me at the above address -
