Re: Blown Fuse!

2003-04-18 by Joe Buechler

Best to contact the distributer, who has probably answered this 
question many times. Here in the U.S. Enport told me that all of the 
frames shipped here from Doepfer contain fuses sized for the 220V P/S, 
even though the frames have a 110V P/S, which is why the fuses always 
blow.
