    220V Step up question -- cassette player runs little fast?

    OK. So I got a Braun 220V cassette player. After fixing it up I got a cheap 220V step up transformer rated 100W. The Braun service manual says 220-250V & 50Hz and 21W. However, the tapes are running at a faster speed. Ladies are quite high pitched and men are sounding like girls! :) Ok, Ok...
