Lines: 10 Summary: NO PROBLEM! Xref: mnetor rec.audio:4165 sci.electronics:1687 You do not have to worry at all about taking 110/60Hz computers and stereos to Europe. TVs don't work, because they have a totally different encoding method. VCRs don't work either. Just buy ANY converter (AC transformer) which has sufficient capacity. I usually go with twice the rated wattage of whatever I'm plugging in. This has worked with CD players, computers, plotters, stereos ... again, NO PROBLEM
