A quick question I stupidly plugged it into a US to UK adapter which didnt change the voltage from 240 to 110 and the light showed up and then when I tried again it didnt.

I have now ordered a voltage adapter but will I have permanently damaged the circuits in the radio now as the voltage was too high and the light didnt come back on?

Thanks
