Hey Max I've kind of had that thought but also respect the wishes and privacy of our leaders. How about this, if you want to meet up with some kindred souls why not post a note asking for those interested to contact giving your email & home town. What you think? Tom Dotta ted...@gmail.com
I was fortunate to live six half years in New Zealand and can vouch for the beerš My concerned friends always reminded me to take my magnetic soled shoes so I wouldn't fall up. Also found that transformers work both up voltage and down voltage. The 50Hz only slows the RPM However at least in New Zealand the 240V is all on one wire not 2 110V wires. My experience is low amperage only, sewing machines and electronic gadgets.
