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.

Plus the AM channel spacing is set to 10 kHz instead of 9 kHz as in the UK .

Get one from a local UK supplier.

You dumb smartalec.


Phil, you charmer, I didn't see this earlier message from you. But
thanks.

The trouble with the model from the "local UK supplier" is that it ain't
got a backup battery, which is pretty damn stupid, wouldn't you agree
for a brilliant machine that will store 20 or so pre-sets . . . not to
mention the time.


The Sony UK website says it has a backup battery.
