Re: HP82069B charger, weird ... Message #11 Posted by Alberto Fenini on 20 Aug 2010, 2:18 a.m., in response to message #10 by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy)
I asked my father last night
btw he worked at Enel the Italian Electrical Energy Company for a long time in the IT dept which is where I have been using my first HP-25 just to tell where the story began
and as far as he can remember we had in Italy 115, than 125 then 220.
Anyway, the oldest model for which the charger is suitable is a Topcat unit, which has been introducted at earliest in 1976, by that time in Italy the distribution was all at 220 , which lead me to say that the charger wasn't for Italy.
On the other side, that plug will not fit in all EU sockets, UK for example has a different one the question we should find an answwer to is : which EU country had 110V back in 1976 ?
P.S. : Massimo remember to send me your email address for the boxes scans ...
