Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Re: Arp Odyssey Power 110/220V?

2005-10-28 by Michael Adler Miltersen

Hi Steve, and everyone else.

Thank you so much for the reply's - i treasure this forum.

I made a very very easy solution, and bought a 220>110 converter for  
20$. It works like a charm.

I appreciate the input. You guys has been great.

Best,
Michael.
