Those transformers work fine, I got one for a 200 disc CD player, and its OK, sits pluged in all the time, hasn't overheated yet.

Even with a transformer to give it 120v, some clocks use the mains frequency as a timing reference so, because the US use 60Hz and we use 50 Hz, the clock will not keep time.

A lot also use a 32,768KHz xtal instead of the mains, so you might be lucky !

Agreed. Luck of the draw really, unless you open it up and look for a crystal.

Good point I could think of anything worse than being locked in a cage with Steve

Ear plugs would give you "the edge"

Shame about the lack of brain.

Tell him to karate chop the rather thing to death then

They stopped doing that 10 years plus ago when the generating companies seriously reduced the accuracy of teh mains frequency resultsing in drift of upto 10 minutes a week!
