Well, I did blame myself somewhat (anything in my comment suggest otherwise?), but do you always inspect the voltage selector when you plug something in to the mains?

Yes your comments suggests otherwise : The Americans had left.

And no, I do not always inspect the voltage selector, but I might when it comes from 120V territory.

I don't want to get into an argument about this, but:

> I once blew up a Next.

Me taking blame.

> The Americans had left the voltage selector on the power supply set to 120V

Me describing the problem.

So, enough.

That's an odd response. An EU based customer returned some equipment. The manufacturer should return EU appropriate hardware and settings.
