Electrical items - What works? What doesn't?

There's still a RadioShack in Edinburgh. Hmm.

Otherwise, maybe Comet or Argos or even PC World?

None of those sell transformers, only those goofy plug adapters. Tandy's HQ was in Walsall, they were taken over a few years ago, a friend of mine worked in purchasing and lost her job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_Corporation

Like it says most of them are Carphone Warehouse now. If Maplin's haven't got them I have no idea. Most electrical retailers should have a supplier.

Thanks Steve and everyone else,

Appreciate the input. I think we're going to leave them behind until we settle, then figure out exactly what we can do, if anything. I totally forgot about the MHz cycle too. My wife just doesn't want to part with them, and I cna't blame her; they're $4K machines.
