Can anyone tell me if a radio that has a United States 110 Volt AC plug
on it can be used in the UK?

The machine I want to buy can be seen at the following address, although
I think I can buy it from another US supplier. (I don't think
Amazon.com will ship to the UK anymore.)

** That radio is no use in the UK.

Sony's specs say it is 120 volt and 60 Hz only - means the clock will be
way out and you will need a step down tranny.

Do these things still use the mains frequency as a time reference?
I thought that went out with 'rolodex' displays.
