so in order to fix this espresso machine from finland I need a 220V 1450W power source. I'm wondering if I can build a step up transformer from a flyback transformer from an old CRT. I know it will put out what I need but I don't know if it can sustain it. Thoughts?

8actually if I'm spending the time to fix it, I could just convert it to 110V
@graf Won’t that make it really slow? I thought the reason you don’t do kettles was because it takes forever to boil?
@Flick what? kettles are a staple in canada. this machine is designed to keep the water boiling so it is always ready
@AsukaNeko @skylar @Flick I *think* it draws 8A around 1500W @ 220V but it's also 50hz
@graf @AsukaNeko @Flick motors might be upset about the frequency difference, but i don't think a heating element would
sometimes kitchen appliances derive the clock source from the grid frequency and get wildly inaccurate over just a few hours on a less stable source like generator power, 10 whole hz would be a far greater difference
