Re: My Last Purchase of 2008
In Response To: My Last Purchase of 2008 ()

if you open the backside of the case you should find a switch opportunity to 220 V as I remember: was it a small white pin???. Had the same version boxed and with papers and manuals and ther I rememberm it is an opportunity. the movement can be pulled out easy: dont worry

: My last purchase of 2008 was one of the classic 70's Heuer Digital
: Clocks.
: This particular one came to me from the U.S.
: My problem now is to sort out the clock for European use. The most
: obvious difference is the American power plug but the bigger
: issue is the fact that the U.S. uses 110 Volt mains power verses
: the 220 Volt system in place across Europe. Is there an easy
: solution to this. Can the clock be set up to use the full 220
: Volt system or will it be wisest to use a bulky and ugly power
: socket adaptor instead.
: Any words of advice would be appreciated.

: Happy 2009 - Darren
