The one that I bought from a cool dude in Eskilstuna. It was modified with
an ecxetrnal transformer and used the existing IEC connector for +/-15V.
Guess what happened one dark night ? Yep, someone connected 230V to the
+/-15V input !!

Bzzzzzzztt, smoke.......more smoke........nothing.

Two. Some day the remaining 6 modules and one working frame will be sold.
