RE: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: Power Supply question

2006-03-04 by Rick Margitza

hey paul,
sorry to say that i dont know that much about the transformer. if was given 
to me when i moved to paris by an american friend of mine who was moving 
back to the states. it looks like a pretty basic one...pretty heavy, with 
french plugs on both sides, so i have to use a plug adapter on one side for 
my american machines. on side is marked 120 and the other 220. sorry i cant 
be more specific. hope this helps.
rick
