I have a vibratory tumbler I've been given that came from the US and would like to convert the plug to a UK 110V site transformer plug as I already have the transformer for other uses.
Being rather useless with electrics and not wishing to killing either the tumbler or myself, does anyone know how to correctly wire convert this ?
Spec on the tumbler is 120V /60HZ /0.6A with the US 3 pin plug



Plug removed and black , white and green wires.



Many thanks

Which one went where then?

The round pin was the earth, the other swap over every 1/60th of a second anyway.

Thanks. I found this guy doing the same thing, but not using the earth, does that sound right ?

You might well find he was wiring something that didn't have an earth connection, yours does, so unless you fancy an early burial, no!
