UK versus US monitor question

I really am goign to have to look for another hobby... It's very likely to be incorrect. Yes, UK mains is 50Hz and US mains is 60Hz. Almost all monitors simply produce one or more DC rails from this [1]. Provided the PSU in the monitor will handle 60Hz -- and for any reasoable PSU design if it'll run on 50Hz mains it'l lrun on 60Hz mains --then the monitor would be fie on 240V 60Hz. If not, then it would be a fairly easy job to convert it. [1] An amazing number of small (12" or so) monochrome monitors, and not jeust TV tarte ones, produve 12V from the mains by one of a number of PSU circuits. This 12V is used to power the CRT heaters amd the lowe-power cirucitry, the high voltages for the CRT electrodes and the video output stage come fro mthe flyback transformer (itself powered from the 12V DC supply). If it's that sort of design it doesn't much matter where the 12V DC comes from. Do you knw othe make and model of the monitor, just in case one of us has ocme across it and has a scehamtic to hand? A seconadary issue is the vertical sync rreqeucny of the machine. TV cvertical rates are essentially the same as the main frequency i ntyhe country to prevent problems wither with the CRT image beating against the room lighing and cuasing flicker or to reduce the visible effects of ripple from the mains PSU gettign into the video circuitry. So if the buyer wishes to use the machine in the States he will presumably need a monitor that can handle 50Hz vertical. Most small mono monitors can, and in any case the mofification is not complicated. But I'd want to kepe the oroginal monitor if possible. I suspect the _real_ reason is that the monitor is ratehr more delicate than the rest of the machine, and would be fairly expnsive to ship. -tony
