[Gllug] OT: step down transformers 230->110?

[Andy Farnsworth]

  If the equipment you are talking about is computer equipment it probably
has either an autoswitching power supply or a manually switched power
supply.  This means that they would only need to have a power plug adapter,
not a voltage transformer or they could buy a new power cord.  Almost all
laptops have universal (autoswitching) power supplies.
  If you still need to transform the power, I found this site on Google:
http://www.220appliances.com/ but be sure to buy a good one because if it
introduces power problems into the line it could damage your equipment.
