I've got a graphophone columbia viva tonal. Can you tell me what is he supply voltage required (110V?)?

Chances are it's 110V, but could depend where in the world you are. They were made at 110v in the US, but the ones we find in Australia are 240v. Most american 110v sets that we got out here, were either altered before they were sent to us, or received a 240v transformer once they arrived. The only exception are those that have been imported recently from the US by collectors, and require a step-down transformer.

I am from france and the graphophone was in my grandpa house. It is "made in england". Maybe I can try on 110V gefore anything else. What do you think?

It's probably the best idea. I think england is also 110v too, though I'm not sure about France. Chances are that if your grandparents owned it, it would have been set up for whatever voltage was used in their area.
Just out of curiousity, do you know what model it is, and does it also have a radio?

You have to choose both the voltage and frequency, unless the turntable has electronic drive.

- The voltage has to match, or stuff gets ruined.

- The frequency has to match, or the turntable turns at the wrong speed.

Do NOT use voltage converters designed for motors.

Power is usually divided by continent:

- Almost everything in the Americas is 120 volt, 60 Hz. A couple of Latin American countries have 50 Hz.

- Everything in western Europe, including the UK, is 240 volt 50 Hz.

- Eastern Europe used to be potluck, but has pretty much standardized on 240 V 50 Hz.

- Japan uses 120 V 60 Hz (but they drive on the left).

- Australia has 240 volt 50 Hz, with scattered pockets of 25 Hz.

- Asia and Africa are spotty, often varying with what company supplies the power. Some African power varies widely in frequency.
