Hi, Berk:
As it turns out, my background is in engineering and electronics, so
I'm not totally in the dark here, but thanks for you concern.
The problem here, as opposed to equipment I typically work on, is
that, as we all know, there is no support beyond what little we can
find online, so I don't know much about the specifications of
components like the power transformer in the SDS-V.
I found the schematics in the SDS-V service manual at
simmonsmuseum.com, at the following link:
http://simmonsmuseum.com/?area=downloads&download_id=235The power supply is shown on page 5 of this manual.
Something I forgot to mention earlier is that where the power cord
plugs in on my SDS-V, it reads "Power Input 240v, " not 115v that I
would expect if this one was for the US market. That's why I thought
this might still be set up for European current.
If anyone here has actually opened up their SDS-V, it would be useful
to compare notes on how things are wired up. My particular unit has
been set up as a rack mount, and doesn't have the black case, just the
chassis, so it's easier to get into.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jim
