I looked at the input for the transformer, and it seems it will take the input (have personal experience with this). > I recommend getting a local person who can tell you if the power is clean enough to not just blow up the power bricks; probably the easiest way to deal with this is to use power bricks sold locally. As Dave can tell you too, power in many parts of the world is hazardous to equipment's life... Just meeting the letter of what the power brick tells you doesn't ensure it will survive any amount of real use. Your paranoid friend, - Jim
