2. 220 V unit on 230/240 V mains:
Device can only be operated with 220 V (50 Hz). In Europe, currently a mains voltage of 230/240 V (50 Hz). This can lead to problems during operation and to a reduction of the service life. Due to the increased mains voltage of 5% (230 V) or 9% (240 V), an increased heating of the increased heating of the drive motor.

3. prices according to collectors catalog 2006 (see above)
Condition A: 150.- € Condition B: 100.- € State C: 50.- €
Ebay (2008) 30.- to 160.- € (condition difficult to define) Is offered very often and is in my opinion for a collector a very worthwhile and optically beautiful device.
A repair is almost always more expensive than a complete unit: * drive belt 10.- € to 20.- € (+postage). * Repairing the plexiglass hood.
