Summary:220 Volts, 50 Hz


I'm taking my SE-30 and my DeskWriter to Israel where I will be working
at a university.

I know that the SE-30 will work with the foreign current (220V, 50Hz)
with no problem or adjustments, but the power pack for my DeskWriter
says it will only work with a 110V, 60 Hz source.  However, I think
that the DeskWriter will work under any current.

So, where can I buy a new power module for the DeskWriter for foreign
current?  Is there a cheaper solution (i.e., can I just use a transformer
for the power module to change the voltage, but leave the frequency
at 50 Hz?).

Thanks in advance for any help!
