Not so! Having been an electronic design engineer and designed power supplies, I can state that the properly designed ones are not that frequency sensitive. Even when iron-core transformers were the norm, a 57 to 63 Hz operating range was what was typically specified. Nowadays, with switching mode power supplies, electronics are even less sensitive to frequency of input. Witness my laptop's power supply, which is spec'd for 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz. It will probably be happy even outside that frequency range. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
