I have been on lookout for a Hakko 936 soldering station, however it seems that Hakko have no disturbutors in Europe for the above mentioned soldering station.
Few days ago I found on ebay two sellers offering a Hakko 936 220V variants which of course caught my interest. However neither of them knew how to answer which input frequincy the soldering stations they sold were rated for. The reason I asked is because I am in country where we use 230V~50Hz while parts of asia (where both sellers operate from) use 220~60Hz and I am afraid that the transformer inside the soldering station would cause trouble.
So I was wondering about whether anybody could help me with info regarding the transformer used in 220V version of Hakko 936 (is it rated for 50Hz, 60Hz or perhaps both). I was also wondering if my fears regarding the transformer inside were unfounded.
