Hello:

I have an old Carl Zeiss TM telescope drive that runs on 220VAC 50 hz. I only have 110VAC 60 hz. I am thinking the difference in frequency will make my drive run too fast. The voltage I can figure out. Any ideas are helpful. Hopefully I can use an adapter and just plug er in. If anybody can provide a link to an adapter I would be most appreciative.

Thank you

Big Louie
