ok everyone here?

saw one for sale cheep. turned it on and the internal transformer emitted a fast ticking/clicking sound and blew out several fuses before finally dying. repairdude said it had been rewired for 220V (local power here) from the original 110V (its a american synth yes? so it WAS originally 110V??) and all he had to do was rewind it again/repair the transformer...

a) say he does get it up and running, would there potentially be a problem with the circuitry? it was plugged into the main circuit board when it blew...

b) is this a common problem with sequential circuit six tracks (overheating power supply) or is this the result of a shoddy mod attempt?

c) should i? would you? i like analog

i don't know how to do it, but yeah, i know it can be done; the internal power thingy is just there to send the right amount of power to the board.. there's no reason why it wouldn't work after that's been sorted.

if it's not costing you an arm and a leg, go for it! six trak is close to many people's hearts, even w/o the knobs.

xoxos: do you know if it did in fact run at 110V originally? it came straight off the boat (literally) from the US and it was already 220V..

im worried that we fried something that wont act up until days later...theres no warranty or return beyond two days

i just heard it for a split sec really but there was a hint of god in there

haha you'll get your baby back   don't have one, but my pro-one has a switch on it for 115/230, so i guess the six is similar. psu any competent electrician should be able to sort w/o destroying your instrument.

I have a prophet five and it has the sound of god in it, too.

 

Mine is 110v, but I haven't looked to see if it's got a dual voltage switch. Would be great if it did cos I might be going back to England sometime in the future.

I wish more manufacturers would do dual voltage. Only Behringer appear to do it on most gear.

Um, not much help am I? All I can say is that if you're confident the electrician can do a good job of repairing it, then it's well worth having a good analog synth.
