I purchased my Vrex goggles direct from Vrex with a UK power supply. DDDan 
very kindly helped me out by shipping them over to me (along with numerous other
goodies I'd bought:)). I'll check the actual transformer specification if need Tony ?
If you do order them and its the Clasic Pack (i.e. it can be used with a video for
field sequential 3D video) then check that your video has a RCA video out jack. Mine
didn't, it uses a SCART socket, so I had to purchase an gender bender to turn the
scart into 3 RCA jacks. Also the PAL video tape VREX supply does not work nearly
as well as the NTSC one, its far jerkier (presumably as frames have been junked to
bring it down to 50.f.s). If your video can play NTSC (like mine.. most do now adays)
then the NTSC 3D video tape is pretty cool..
