The only thing I know of, apart from clocks, that you should not run on the wrong frequency are oldfashioned mechanical shavers. If it has a motor you're fine, but if it just has a magnet and a coil and relies on mechanical resonance: don't even think about it. Anything else: Just plug it in, after you checked the 110/200 V setting. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
