LONG RANGE CAPT Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 America! Mail order it in, even paying duty you'll probably come up less than the UK Mark Tried Sinclair International & Nanchez and both cant get any till new year in 220v European. They do have 110v - would that work in the uk with converter plug ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millwall Paul Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm not 100% certain but I think the chargemaster has a plug in transformer, so if you got one in 110v then it should be a case of just buying a 240v transformer. Have you tried midway uk or sportsman gun centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 If it has a plug into the wall type transformer, then check and see what voltage the transformer is rated for. For instance, cell phone chargers, laptop chargers, and various other AC--> DC converters are typically rated for 110-240, 50-60 Hz. If that is the case, then you only need a plug converter from Tesco for £5. I've got a dozen said converters around the house for various items including laptop chargers, printer plugs, lamps, etc. If the chargemaster has internal circuitry, then you'll need a full voltage converter. I have 2 in the house for larger items. I run a US surround sound system, PS2, dremmel, and kitchen aid mixer from them. They are about £25 from Maplin for a 300 watt rating. They have smaller, cheaper ones for about a tenner tha tmight work for a small power draw item. The problem in doing this though is that while they convert the voltage, they do NOT convert the frequency. If the US based unit uses a timer circuit, then the timer circuit will run slow because the US is set for 60 Hz, while over here the AC is 50 Hz. Anything with a clock or timer will be affected. I don't know what the chargemaster has inside so know if it will be a problem. Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxshooter Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Buy a 110V version and then buy the 220 power supply from RCBS direct. They might not even charge you........ Be careful about running the 110 through an adaptor/transformer. I know of someone who did this and it made the chargemaster innaccurate!! He got a proper power adaptor and all was well again.
