Good day,
I am a hifi dealer from India and am looking for Preowned
dealers
from South East Asia, UK and Europe for used 220v original
sharp
quick sale deals in brands like - Avm, Accuphase, Mcintosh and
also
Pmc. Only scratch less units max 8/10 please.

Thanks


If you are in India and looking for outlets in India, why are to
'advertising' in a UK newsgroup?

Probably doesn't understand what "uk." means. Usenet is pretty
mysterious to most people these days.

Obviously. You both seem to have missed the part where he says he's
looking to buy from markets which use ~220v gear including the UK.

The UK is 240v. Older equipment designed for 220v will very likely
go bang
on 240v. Unless the mains transformer has a 240v tapping.

Unlikely. Yes the transformer and/or regulators might run a bit warmer
but it is very poor design if 10% over voltage causes something to
fail big time.
