Re: american imported BIC deck(mains wiring)
Howdy
Since you are in the UK, judging by your BT ISP, the bigger problem will be that your deck will probably be wired for the US mains voltage - 110-115 VAC, not the UK 240-250 VAC. Check this first. If the deck can run on the UK mains, then the power lead will have a Blue wire for Neutral/Negative and a Brown wire for Phase/Live/Positive. There may also be a Green or Green/Yellow wire for Earth/Ground.

Re: american imported BIC deck(mains wiring)
A voltage convertor is NOT always suitable on decks. Whilst it's easy to
drop 240v to 110v ok, US mains is 60hz v UK's 50hz. Some decks use the mains frequency to govern the speed (granted not seen one for a few years). |
