Re: [Doepfer_a100] 1997 power supply

2018-06-27 by Nicholas Keller

Are there stickers on the back of the cases that say the voltage and fuse type?   It's possible that this PSU was converted to 115 after production, and the sticker may reflect that.  It's easy to convert back and forth, you just need to change a few solder bridges and the fuse.  Are the fuses the same?  Finally, you can inspect the underside of both PSU PCBs and compare bridges.
