I was given an old Sony tape deck. The original deck specs 110V. The
person who gave it to me, told me the power supply burned and he had it
fixed but can't recall if he had it converted for 220V...
Is there a way I can find out if this is to work with 110 or 220? Only
thing I have is a Voltmeter.
Thanks!

The plug should be a give-away.

Usually there's a slide switch near the ac cord entering the deck saying
110/220. At any rate, put a 110 plug on it and plug it into the 110 outlet.
If 110, should work normally. If wired for 220, any incandescant lamps will
be *very* dim. (like the vu-meters). You're not going to hurt
a 220 deck by plugging it into 110.

You could try it on 110V and see if it works.

What type of connection or plug is on it? If a standard type plug, probably
110
