I was given an old Sony tape deck. The original deck specs 110V. The
person who gave it to me, told me the power supply burned and he had it
fixed but can't recall if he had it converted for 220V...
Is there a way I can find out if this is to work with 110 or 220?


What type of connection or plug is on it? If a standard type plug,
probably 110

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on location. Thailand, for one, uses a two
prong plug that looks like a standard U.S. item, but is used with 220 volts.
Hong Kong uses many different plug types with 220v, one of which is the same
2-prong style. I think, if memory serves, that Myannmar, Laos and perhaps
Malaysia are the same -- Regards --
