Hi !
I have a US connector plug and I would like to buy an adaptor for using the plug in Finland.
Where is the best place to find it in Helsinki/Vantaa area ?
Thanks !

My prediction for the day ... Hank will post a mail using the words "blue smoke". i.e. Make sure the device is dual voltage or it will burn out.

Best place to find such an adaptor ... (i) Hki Vantaa airport (ii) Stockmann travel section.

Can I predict Cowby will post the Luke pic and crack me up at the same time.

This question comes up so often that I wonder if it should be a sticky!

Would that be for adapting your US based a$$ to the Finnish one ? or is that for your Frontal lobotomy?
What wattage is your US based (guess: laptop) device? If your device is 110-240v compliant, then its just an adaptor : available in Stockmann or in Tarjoustalo(Cheaper) or Clas Ohlson for around 6-9 Euros in the Electrical section ( set of 5 adapters).
if it is a converter you need to specify what the orifice specifications like wattage, amps etc are..to convert 230 V 60Hz to 110V 50Hz..
