Re: [prophet2000] transformer

2004-02-12 by ferrograph@aol.com

<< I have a Prophet-2000 with a broken transformer. Does anyone 

have the specs for it? I only have a very bad scan of the service 

manual. I know it takes 110V and 220V in depending on the 

setting on the back of the sampler. Is it 2 x 12V out? Or more? 

And 50VA should be enough, right? >>

I can't remember the power rating without taking my 2k2 out of it's rack 
(same power supply as 2k) but I remember discovering that it's original 
transformer was for 220/110 only, and at UK voltage of 240 the 12V and 5V regs were 
red-hot because of the extra drop. I swapped it for a 12-0-12 toroidal with a 240 
primary and it settled right down, + it was quieter.
