Let me check: Taking cover off receptacle, grasping both sides of receptacle (after soaking hand in warm water for half an hour)…. ZZZzzzzaaaaPPPPP…… Ouch!!! Okay, let me cross reference that with past zaps… I would say that was 120 volts at 60 Hz. Okay, enough of that. Canada uses almost the same power distribution standards as the US uses. There is a slight difference in the voltage standard between the US and Canada of a couple of volts, but this isn't a concern. And we use NTSC video standard here in Canada, too. So you will have to figure out something. There should be people on here what have taken an European Amiga and run it on the NA mains. 73, Kelly
