Crumar Musical Instruments User Group.

I just found out about this group and hope to find some help. My Spirit got shipped via 
airfraight and although nicely packed got a bit damaged.....with the transformer inside flying 
around and so. I desperately need to find some schematics. Any help or lead very much 
appreciated.

thanks, Karl

PS. any chance to put one into the files section?

Yeah - that transformer! Held in place ONLY by the 4 or 5 wires going 
in and out of it. Crazy. My Spirit was the same, but it hadn't even 
been in an aeroplane. Just about managed to splice solder the wires 
back and then secured the thing with hefy cable ties.

Is it just the trafo, or has it damaged other stuff?

Do a web search for "Mark Glinsky's Manual Manor", I think he has 
schematics.

Good luck,
Matt.

Hi Everybody,

thanks for all your help! Too many names to mention;-) I was referred to Oliver and he went 
to the troubles to scan the paper files he had and emailed them to me - amazing and very 
very appreciated.
No, I wanted to post the schematics onto the files section but got refused because of file size 
too big - it's 2 megs only though.
Anyway, anybody wanting or needing these hard to find schematics, please drop me a line 
and I'm happy to forward them for the fair amount of $25.00......just kidding;-)

muchas gracias again, Karl

I can clear out the Stratus schematics to make some space if eveyone who
wants them has taken them.

Hey Karl,

What's your Spirit's serial number? I'm still curious about how many 
were actually made. High serial numbers would give an indication.

Thanks,
Matt.

My Spirit's # number is 00110. That'd be another one with # 110? Mine is a 220V model if 
that makes a difference?

best Karl

Well, my serial number is N1 00020. 220v. I can't remember where my 
records are now, but I think 110 is one of the highest I've heard.

Rumour had it "as little as 100, as many as 300" were made. If we've 
perhaps got an N1 110 and an N2 110 then that's at least 220 out there 
somewhere. I wonder if the N2 and N1 relate to the voltage - or perhaps 
the colour. There was a mid brown wood and a very light / white wood. So 
who's got which? For the record, mine is the mid brown wood.

Cheers folks,
Matt.

Hello all,

thanks to the schematics I was able to be clear about how to re-attach my
dislodged transformer.....unfortunately I found out that something had
happened to it, measuring across reveals that it is shorted.

Question now is: anybody know where to get the Œcorrect¹ replacement
transformer. Or could I use just any that has the same specs like 110V in
and 20V out? What¹s confusing me is that the schematics (as well as the
­shortened- transformer have actually 3 outs, that is +/- 20V as well as
ground. the transformers I find at Allied etc. all seem not to have
this....?

As you might see, I¹m not the expert really even if I try pretending hard;
any and every enlightenment would be very welcome and appreciated;-)

best, Karl

Los Angeles

PS. the schematics can be found in the file section.....!

Are you 100% sure the transformer is shorted?  The output resistance
of a transformer should be very low, and might appear shorted even on
a good one. Going short like that is a fairly unusual transformer fault. 
Does the transformer have any serious physical damage?
