Re: where to buy new power transformer?

2008-09-16 by scott frye

Line voltage ( which drifts up n down) isnt perfect.
Most devices should still work from line in AC from 105-130 VAC
I would say that the regulator circuitry after the transformer is the culprit.
Unless the transformer voltage is WAY low I would suspect the voltage regulators.
If you're just driving circuits that supply +/- 15, there are many transformers that will work.
You just need to find one that PHYSICALLY fits and can supply the current and
More current available is better than not enough.
