Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Eminent Solina String Ensemble coming from Europe

I thought the Eminent solina was the same as the early Arp ones.. so maybe there is hope to easily change the voltage inside.

Looks like the voltage is internally switchable..

Ps, I've got an Eminent Solina, and it rocks.. make sure you buy a decent phaser for it.. lol..

I just bought an Eminent Solina String Ensemble from Europe.
This gear works on 220V/50Hz and I live in Canada.

Can I use any step up transformer regardless of the 60Hz frequency in Canada? Usually converters and transformers don't convert frequency...
So it means that this gear will run on a faster cycle, isn't? or may be it is converted to DC so it doesn't matter...?

According to the Arp Solina Service manual, there is a way to relocate a wire to appropriate voltage. Can I do the same for an Eminent?
Thanks
Christian
