| Alphonso Deitchman 31.03.2013 | There are 1200 Mk2s with the switch, and ones without. And I believe the US model 1210 M5G does not have a switch. Either way it's best to be sure just by physically checking. |
| Len Lukawski 31.03.2013 | I bought my technics 1210 mk2s in the UK and then moved to the US. As long as they are 1210s - you get the voltage switch under the platter and you can use adapters or take them somewhere that will swap the plugs (though its not particularly tricky). |
| Jenna Skeem 26.03.2013 | As long as the turntable has a voltage selector and you know how to wire a plug (Which is taught in Primary schools over here) then i see no reason for you not to get them. Edit: basically unscrew the british plug head take out wire, place wire into american plug head. Done |
| Rolando Lomangino 25.03.2013 | I refuse to use adapters. So if it has a voltage switch its good to go? I would not even be interested in something like this but the custom paint jobs are amazing. EDIT: they have the voltage switch but I am still wondering on the plug. waiting sellers response. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 25.03.2013 | Do not use simple plug adapters. Either check for the voltage switch like Patch suggested above, or buy a proper step-up voltage transformer. |
| Emelina Chillson 25.03.2013 | you can pick up the adapters for about 15 bucks at any best buy in the laptop section. |

| Alphonso Deitchman 25.03.2013 | You'll need a voltage stepup transformer to use UK turntables in the USA. |
