2. '''220 V device to 230/240 V mains:''' <br>
 
'''Device can be operated with 240 V (50 Hz).'''
 
In former times a mains voltage of 220V was valid in Germany.
 
In the EU (and now also in Germany), [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzspannung#Normung currently] a [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzspannung#Erh.C3.B6hung_von_220_auf_230_bzw._380_auf_400_Volt mains voltage of 230/240 V] (50 Hz).
 
In 2009, the tolerance threshold will be further increased.
 
In extreme cases up to 250 V mains voltage can be present.
 
This can lead to problems during operation and to a reduction in service life.
 
Due to the increased mains voltage of 5% (230 V) or 9% (240 V), the device may heat up more.
 
increased heating of the device is to be expected. <br>
 
'''It is advisable to switch the device to 240 V.'''
 
<br>
 
3. prices according to collectors catalogue 2006 (see above)
 
<br>
 
[[Equipment condition valuation table#Stage_A|Condition A]]: 150.- €
 
[[Equipment condition valuation table#Stage_B|Condition B]]: 100.- €
 
[[Device condition rating table#Level_C|State C]]: 50.- €
 
<br>
 
Ebay (2008) 30.- to 80.- € (condition difficult to define)
 
<br>
 
Is offered very often and is in my opinion a very worthwhile and beautiful device
