Doubt it is 15hz, 50Hz is what I think you meant.
Should not be a problem, use an adapter and just plug it in. Later you can chop the old plug off and put a UK three pin on.
If you can't find an adapter that fits, then you best get back to us, as then it is something weird.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

If you have used it on the mainland then it will be OK in the UK with a suitable adapter plug.
It is American electronic stuff that won't work without a transformer.Comment

If you are buying something like hifi with a plug for each component you are better off buying a power strip in the same country. That way you'll only need one adaptor.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
