Date: 1 Aug 1984 06:17:46 Z Text: Not necessarily "contradicting each other." We do in fact (I checked the label on the machine) have Imagewriters rated to work on 220/240 volts 50 Hz power. That does not mean that the 60 Hz model will not work on 50 hz with a 220 to 110 volt step-down transformer. I suspect (do not know) that the two versions of the machines have different motors in them. If so, the 60 Hz motor will run hotter on 50 Hz. And the motor may operate okay or fail earlier than rated, depending on how robust it is. It may also run slower. You now know what I know, whoever you are. The "yes or no?" is, of course, your decision. LCDR Larry Byard, USN Stuttgart W. Germany
