Just one thought if you really get stuck, if there is the space you might
get away with 2 separate transformers possibly toroid's as these tend to be
more compact and the VA rating of both outputs is similar so the same range
with different secondary's may suit.

 

Many thanks

Hi V,

I don't think all sythesizers have keyboards :o)
I did a quick search and found the following :-
"The 241-8-1737 is a custom unit, a modified version of our DMT-8-15
It Incorporates a dual 115V/230V 50/60Hz primary terminals across, 1-2 & 
4-5.
There two output windings across pins 6-7 and 8-9-10.
6-7 8V/5.5A
8-9-10 = 36Vct/1A"
Digikey have the DMT-8-15, but this has a 5V windin instead of an 8V one.
If Linn are trying to get 5Vdc then it might work, but it looks a little 
short on current rating.
There is a datasheet on the Digikey site.
Best of luck

Paul
