	The SONY tapedecks I've seen so far have DC motors; as for the 
Discman, I am not sure- but I think you can get a battery pack for it
- and that would suggest the same. (Or, maybye not a DC motor, but somethig
line frequency independent). The definite answer is easy to get- buy yourself
the service manuals for your SONY stuff; you can get it from SONY America for 
about $7 a piece. (Differs slightly for different types of instruments; and no, I don't have the adress with me right now,but I can dig it out if you ask me to)
	Manuals are neat since you can fix your stuff on your own if you feel
like it, and add some features you may miss. (like Automatic Music Sensor from
your remote).
	You may have a slight problem with your receiver anyhow- some parts of 
Europe are FM in the 60-80 MHz range, for example Eastern Block. However, I'd
say if your new job is there,FM reception will be the smallest of your problems.

	Such is my opinion, and however misspeled you may find it, I like
it still the same.
