Hi there..

I just bought a Technics 1200 MK2 turntable from the US on eBay. It is said to work on 110v, will it be ok if I use it with an adapter from 110v to 240v for it to support the Portuguese electrical plugs?

I really need a fast answer on this.

Thanks a lot!

no

lol nice, time to beg for a refund..

i'm sure i'll be able to get a Portuguese step down transformer tho


(then again, you don't wanna be buying turntables anyway....cd decks are the future (for now at least, soon to be ipod/mp3)

Professionals now use an electronic turntable.  They plug it into their computer and that way they have their whole music library but still have the precision of a turntable.

i more mental clubs, but yeh it won't be long before they become cheap and every club just has a computer

Dude, you should of really thought about that before ordering from the US .

If you can get a Portuguese Step Down transformer as toddy said, I guess it could all work.

If he gives you a refund (which I doubt, or if you use the transformer you won't need one) consider yourself lucky .

lol Ok, so where should I be able to get one of these transformers? Will it need any electronic work done to use it?

so, you just pug them into you normal socket. (and it cuts down the power that it gives out). then you put your device into the other of the transformer.

Ah, now I deducted what a transformer was.. Being what I think it is, it's really simple then

This one, per example, would do, right?

Thanks
