We STILL have not answered the QUESTION. Does this guys set work on
220volts. He said the set worked on 110v but not properly on 220v. I can not
believe that the set was designed to work on 220v using the same power cord
that came with the set. Every 220v circuit I have seen here in the states
has a different cord (larger plug) with two hots. Is this some special
CTC187AD. I think this is important enough to answer. We all know that 220
has to hots and a neutral, and 110 has one hot and a neutral. I am
interested how in the world he is plugging a CTC187 into a 220v outlet.
Please someone, or the owner of the set EXPLAIN. Everyone that I have seen
will smoke if you apply 220v. This is driving me crazy. Why would anyone
want to run his set on both 110v and 220v anyway? It seems to me if it
worked on 110v, that should be good enough. Very confused here in Georgia.
