Yeah, the line voltage setting is the first thing I check on everything electric I bring into the home/shop. Learned that lesson once, long ago.
The ROM rot was my biggest worry. When I started watching this particular 7854 on the Bay of E, and thought I might stand a good chance of getting it, it prompted my question the other day about chip programmers, since I don't as of yet have a programmer in my arsenal.
Thanks,
