suggestions on BBC Micro, voltage converter, PAL monitor (in US)?

Never having had either a broken beeb or a broken cub
monitor, I have no idea whether they care
about the frequency or not. It's unlikely, but
you never know ...
One or other of the PDPs used to derive
some sort of rough clock from the
input frequency. You told it whether
it was running 50Hz or 60Hz so it
could adjust appropriately.

There are (cheap) travel adapters that allow you
to plug UK appliances into various
worldwide connectors. I don't have one to
hand to check, but I do know some of them
can cope with a hairdryer - whether that's
enough to not catch light when trying
to feed an early beeb with the
varnish-stripping PSU is not
clear to me :-)
