It works, but after 5 minutes it started smoking up, and i checked, its the PSU, 220v and we are 240 volts here, so we are ringing around to get a new PSU for it so we rang up this guy, we're talking to him now

Put your location in your profile, and local Commodore users will be able to offer help. See how mine says Chicago? We've developed a very good scene here by being aware of one another.
I've measured 235 v here... I suspect that's the reason why old vic-20's get so hot is because of the raise from 220 v. I have run a 128D without any problems though.
