- Huh? US power is 110 to 125 volts, 60.00 Hz.
- I think the numbers you quote are for a _combination_ of US and Japanese
- power; Japanese is 100 V at 50 Hz if memory serves me right.

- (Hang on; why rely on memory? The World Radio-TV Handbook says
- that Japanese power is 50 or 60 Hz depending on where you are; it
- doesn't give the voltage.)
