Re: [Simmons Drums] Voltage conversion of the MTM transformer... ?

2011-10-07 by xylofoam

I managed to get it going... It seemed to have been the coating on the wires had too good insulating properties... :-)

Btw. What's the fuse when set to 240V? Is it 1A/250V?
(When set to 110V it had a 2A/250V fuse)

Cheers
