We had a problem with a cheap converter and a contact lens "cooker".
Basically, the lens cooker would not work with the converter.  I think
there are some electronics (for timing the cooking period) that were
insulted by the wierd waveform coming out of the converter.  When we
found a transformer, we had no problem.
