Does anyone know if a standard USA VHS VCR that expects 110V/60Hz
will work on transformed (i.e. 220V->110, 50Hz) UK power?
I know the USA and UK VHS formats are totally different,
but I want to send USA VHS tapes to the UK so my parents can see their
grandchild. They have a monitor capable of 525 line display.
Do VCRs care about the power frequency?
