Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] VFX-SD ver 2 power supply problem/question

To Geren W. Mortensen, Jr.:

Hello from Barcelona (Spain)

I really don't know the problem that causes the 2A fuses to blow. I own a
VFX-SD II (keyboard calibration already fixed) and I've suffered the same
trouble 5 times, two or three years ago.
My only solution was replacing time after time the fuses (sometimes they
lasted for 2 hours, sometimes for weeks). At the beginning I thought it
could be a peak on the electrical line, so I bought a very simple and cheap
power stabiliser but it had no use. I was tired enough for thinking to
install fuses of a higher amperage (and wait what happened...)  but finally
the problem disappeared as it came. Since then the VFX has not failed
again.
I know this is not too helpful but at least it gives some hope...

Hasta pronto.
