I looked in Radio Shack, at some step-down transformers for 'traveling abroad'. There is a price range, with some 'for heating appliances only' (the cheapest) and the higher priced ones allow motors, and the $34 ones allow electronic devices. What is the difference among these units? Also, could a transformer such as in these theoretically be reversed and used for step-up purposes? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
