Years ago, my dad had a European electric clock. Geared for 50 cycles,
it sure ran fast on 60 cycles. I have no idea about the 240 vs. 120
volt situation. (I was about 6 years old at the time.)
<br>But, I have looked at several of my battery chargers for Digital camera,
electric shavers, etc. and they say that they are good for 240 volts.
<br>I did have an electric shaver years ago that my friend unthinkingly
plugged in an outlet in London; notice I said I "did" have it..................
<br>I have been told that many of the present electrical peripherals such
as chargers have been manufactured to work with both currents.
