Re: Crumart Trilogy replacement power transformer

>>The schematics don't say anything in this regard (or am I missing something?)<<

the schematic I found by googling dates from 1981, & shows that the synth uses +/- 15V & +/- 12V as well as a couple of other lower voltages, all regulated on the power supply board. elsewhere in the synth there is some local 5V regulation.

so..

you need to give it something that will do 15-0-15. a centre tapped iron core trafo that can do 15-0-15, or a dual secondary toroidal with two lots of 15V would do. somewhere on the back of the synth should be a power rating, though I would estimate from the schemos that somewhere around 80VA would be adequate.

you might want to change a few components, speculatively, in the power supply first. if the transformer really has been burned up, then there are other problems, most likely electrolytics or failed regulators.
