Anybody know the power/current consumption of an ST-11. I have a USA

inverter/whatever supply to run it from 230v 50Hz.

Doesn't mention the power spec in the manual, though it does have
schematic and component list !


I don't know but... I think the only difference between the 50 and 60 Hz
versions was the strobe disc, and you might be able to order a 50 Hz strobe
disc.

If you run it on inverter, that inverter needs to be VERY precisely on
frequency. Crystal control, no free-running oscillator.

For that really authentic feel, use a 60Hz inverter controlled using a
phase locked loop locked to the local mains frequency. That will give
the genuine variation in tuning over time as the mains frequency drifts
a bit. ;-)
