UK to USA power converter using a Power Mallet

[Art]

Brian,

Even if it was the correct foot control, you CANNOT use the EMX-1 and ANY foot control together other than the FCGX On/Off Foot Switch which is just a switch (press down power on, let up power off).

Hello all,

for all the seller is good about sending the kit back and paying for the shipping then refunding me later.

but I just get the whole problem! 

Maplin made me angry as sent an email an stated my kit spec complete, they said yes it work (the 300w converter!

if person knew anything about electrics they'd spot the 60Hz needed to run the kit..but they've made me buy another 50hz converter... 

They reckonise the problem, and at the same time "we've got a 60hz model in stock...£145!!! No shame! 

Somewhere lyes the problem...the seller is used to sell in USA not U.K and its ELECTIC set up!

saying just buy a power converter is a bit lame tbh! 

I'm  totaly to blame! if I'd know about the implications  of electrics  I could of done it proplery 

my friend is going to take me through checking with a multimeter via Skype etc..bought a cheap one it'll read what I want see.

If all it give a reading from the the power converter I'll be happy! At least I can say I've check the kit.

the seller is happy for me to hold on for the moment.

gives me time to get an definate answer from Foredom about the problem etc.
