[GreenKeys] Powering an ASR 33 Teletype in the UK

[Rob Jarratt]

In the UK our power supply is 220/240V at 50Hz, and I believe the US is 110V
at 60Hz. I noticed the plate on the back of the ASR 33 I have it says 115V
at 50Hz, which rather puzzles me as it is a US voltage at a UK frequency.

I did get some kind of transformer that I think went with the ASR but I am
not sure I want to trust it, can anyone suggest a safe way to test it? I am
tempted however to buy something new for this. There are a number of voltage
converters on the market which convert UK to US, but they output at 60Hz. Am
I going to be able to use one of these converters for my Teletype or do I
need something different?

Regards

Rob
