Greetings, fellow exile! :) DON'T go to an electrical contractor or a lamp store for this! I went to a store on Tottenham Court Road in London here, named A&B Electronics. After getting the run-around with every bleeding DIY whatnot in the area (your first clue to run is an old fella going "Well, let's take a look...") - I finally found the electronics part of town! It cost £140 but in comparison with the cost of my equipment, if not a conversion for each unit, it's reasonable. It's a small cylinder about 5" high, 3" diameter, with two plugs for US equipment, into which I have a pair of switched power strips. It takes a load for the mixer, two Zoom 2100's, the Time Machine, Quadraverb, and when I'm home, even some recharging devices. Good investment, and a necessary one. And, regarding you "strapping it in", the unit has loop-holes for screws. S.P.
