<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>List,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm just starting in diy-electronics, at this time
i never would change a power-suply, since i'm a beginner,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>i just wanted to know if that is possible, i'm trying to
figure out the service-manual, but still a long way to go, i'v ordered some
books, i hope this list can help on mine journey even when it is
modifying/servicing a commercial synth. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Apparently i have some questions, but don't know if it
fits here so it may skipped..., here they are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- what is a tempco?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>- Does a synth only run on AC or also DC, what is that
excactly in synth terms?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not really....juergan haible is perhaps the most
important person on the list after Rik Janssen (the list founder)...a newbie
who hasn't read the service manual of the synth he is planning on modifying
(as opposed to building from scratch, like Juergan's clone of the Korg PS3100)
comes rather a way down the list....I expect that you can do what you want as
there is probably a switch setting on the power board for 100/220V.....or else
a re-config of the transofrmer circuitry.....Although we do mod already
constructed commercial synths we really are about buildign from scratch,
either new designs or replicas..... If you are talking about polysynth stuff
then Juergan Haible is the guy you need to be talking to.......</FONT></DIV>

question....</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>strange list, this is synth-diy, i'm asking as
a starter if it is possible (internally) to put a 220v transformer in a
synth that has 110v and if there are other electronics involved, no answers
at all to mine question, and on a topic that seems not to fit here, that
mailbombing thing, and that gets a lot of reaction.....is this a networking
list??? strangeeeeeeeeeeeeee! thx for the help
anyway......</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV><BR>________________________________________________________________________<BR>This
