Sounds like you've bought them from abroad mate...... they will probably be set to operate at 110V...... not sure if you can alter the voltage on the stantons..... if you can then there will be a little switch somewhere that should say "110V" on one side, and "240V" on the other, you need to switch it to say "240V", and then you will also need a power lead with the UK 3-pin plug on the end

1 amp? that might be a little on the low side.... might be wrong. If you know what power rating your decks are you can work out what ampage adapter you need..... Current = Power / Voltage
ie: Amps = Watts / Volts
Volts is 240V in the uk
Sounds like you have a shaving plug adapter..... having triedone of those with a 13amp fuse in before, its not such a great idea..... if you have a kettle type power lead for your decks, you are better getting one of those, only with a uk plug on the end.... depends on the lead you have now though

If they're new decks, then you need to set your tone arm up properly
