Would this work with a 110/240V transformer ? All you need to know is the rating of the Miggy PSU. I know they sell 240 to 110V ones in the UK for USA equipment (TV's etc), so I guess they will sell 110 to 240V in the USA for European kit  :-)

I guess its just the frequency difference then, if it affects timing, but then you did say it had a hacked psu so maybe its OK  :-o

The PSU converts AC to DC, so I doubt going from 50 to 60 Hz would make a difference, but there are probably people on this board with more experience in electronics, who know for certain.

Yes, I'm aware of that, I was trying to remember what that 'tick' signal was again with big box Miggy's. If the psu is sending a tick pulse to the Miggy then that is most definately frequency dependant  :lol:

But I'm expecting he can pick the adapter up in a local store  :-?
The European adapters go the wrong way  :-(
