I think you will find that your local electric utility tries very hard to maintain 60 Hz output. It is necessary for them to sync their generators within their generating facility and to connect to their generators to the grid system to enable power transfers.

Voltage at a residential service entrance is covered by IEEE standards, simply stated it should be 120V RMS +/- 5% per phase. If the voltage is consistently high or low, the utility company is usually responsive to changing transformer taps to provide nominal 120V service (again, per phase).

That said, it may be a good idea to have an electrician survey Duilawyer's system, as it is possible a problem or problems may be contributing to his unusual number of component failures. However, it would be reasonable to expect that if there were a problem with his distribution system that he would be experiencing problems with other connected devices (i.e., VCR, PC, etc).

It may just be that Duilawyer is the unfortunate person at the far end of the normal distribution curve that has gotten a lot of dud players.
