You can certainly buy a mains voltage converter for it (won't cost you
much more than a new clock radio, probably :-). But if this is like
most of them, it uses the mains frequency to run the clock. 50Hz vs
60Hz mains will make it run very slow.


Mains locked? The few I've had apart are crystal locked - necessary if you
wish battery backup. Which most radio alarms have.
