This may sound brutal, but it'd almost certainly be cheaper to
discard your blender and buy a new one in Belgium, rather than
pay to have the old one shipped across the Atlantic.

If you're not particularly attached to your receiver and/or
cassette deck, the same could be said for selling one or both
here and buying new stuff there.

You might want to check the back panel and owners manual for the
receiver and tape deck.  Many have a switch or the like which will
allow the unit to run on any of the commonly used power systems.
Or, if it says 117V 50/60 cycle (or 50/60 Hz), then all you need
is a simple 220-to-110 transformer, available at your local Radio
Shack (and other places).

Sounds like you already know that you can't use your American-standard
TV over there...
