Hi guys,
I hope this question isn't outside the scope of this mailing list, but I thought some of you might have experience to help me. I've got a beautiful old Aries modular synth that my dad (Carl Fravel of Gentle Electric) built in the 70s with a Serge touchpad sequencer that my dad traded him for a CV keyboard. Unfortunately, all the circuits in this old synth are American, and they really don't like my step-down-transformed power. Both racks hum terribly and i think they really want the 60Hz AC they were built for.
Does anyone know of a nice US -> UK (or european) power transformer that also outputs reliable 60Hz power, or do you think i'm going to have to modify my dad's power modules to better handle 50Hz power?
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Warmest,
Kelly
