Cool, glad I could help! One note that I didn't think of when I bought an electric converter for an older projector is to make sure the electric converter can handle more than you're giving it. This article seems to be a knowledgable guide on how to choose one. http://www.voltagesuperstore.com/choosingrightconverter.shtml Before I knew about frequencies, I lugged a Pageant over to Turkey, got a converter that could just about handle it, watched a movie that was slow due to frequency difference, and then the projector busted :(. It was the saddest, but I learned!
