The Apex and Magnavox converter boxes should be outlawed. I want to see how theyre made, though. I've been trying to get one of each on eBay, but the bids surpass my $7 maximum bid mark they are truly worth.
Most common part to fail in cheap appliances like these is the internal power transformer - they use too thin a gauge of an input voltage wire, and/or wound too short, it gets hot and burns out too quickly. The low-wattage power switching mechanism can also burn out, as it is also power-sensitive. Power spike could wreck that if they use a cheap part there. Oop, quite a number of these coupon boxes ARE made cheaply.
