Yes, there are big, honker 120v - 100v. step-down transformers that can be used in the U.S. to supply power to big, honker Japanese appliances, like microwaves and vacuum cleaners. But they're heavy and expensive and you don't need them for a boomer. This "mouse" works great for electronics. It's small, relatively cheap, and available at major Japanese electronics retailers, like Laox and Ishimaru. Like they say at Stake 'n Shake, "takhomasak" of them next time you're in Japan (or, better yet, get someone to do it for you). You'll be glad you did!
:yes:

Hmm. The problem I see is that the transformer in that thing is only 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the one in the boombox. :-O

Well, I promise that later today I will post another radio. Sorry it's going slow, but I like to play with each one at a time! Less like Christmas, more like Hanukkah :-D

I have spoken to Norm about what it would take to convert these and he said they really are all unique and would require special handling each. So I will stick with batteries. I could make the investment into a step down, But I would rather have another radio.

Your flag waving for the M70 parallel's my TRC-920 passion!
