Vintage Synth Repair

Your simplest bet is to buy a small auto-transformer that will convert the
230V UK mains to 117V Canadian mains, readily available from maplin, TS
Components etc.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Maestro Rhythm Jester - Conversion to UK power
supply?

 

  

I have a Maestro Rhythm Jester (RJ-1) drum machine, which I bought years ago
from Canada (I think).
It has Canadian power input (117v, 50/60 Hz). Says 3W on the back.
I'm in the UK, and want to convert to 230v/50Hz. Unfortunately, I have NO
other info on this machine.
The Canadian transformer has two black wires going into the primary, and two
blue ones coming out of the secondary. The code on the transformer says
KS-T-0013. Anyone have any idea what sort of replacement transformer I need?
Or how to analyse the existing one?
