Just what is a gas radio?
--First
Appartment I lived in had gas refrigerator/stove AND still had some fixtures for gas
lighting. washer/dryer/furnace/hot water were all shared in basement, real screw in fuses
(not safety) so MAYBE had 220 if you used extension cords to two rooms, probably 10 amps.
--townhouse my parents moved to had 220 at the circuit box, but intended for gas
appliances and you either bought central AC before construction completed, or tough luck,
so no 220 outlets.
--my first two personal apartments again no 220, probably 15 A
Still wanting a GAS Computer? :)
