[sdiy] Siel OR400 Transformer needed

[M Maeghan Skala]

So I decided to test the poet supply once more so I connected everything back up and did some readings … out's for each of the IC"s are as follows:

IC1:		-10.3
IC2:		9.5
IC3:		-6
IC4:		5.9

Just to make sure I tested at the Ribbon cable out:

5.9
0
-6
9.5
0
-10.3

So the synth is giving a constant noise, it's also modulating it's pitch. When I hit the keyboard, it does nothing. I guess when the power supply short circuited … it arced over to other components. This is a really really sad day for me. I can't afford to send it off to get to get fixed. It's all over most of tracks :(

I don't know what to do.

I purchased the schematics from music parts.com … :( I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

They can be wired centre-tapped as I described, but can also be used in other configurations which is why the modern parts are made that way. They may be described as 2 x 0-15 or 2 x 15V.
