Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Moog MG1 replacement transformer?

2013-09-16 by pushwithlegs

Thanks for the help folks. To clarify i was referring to the internal transformer as suggested earlier in the thread. I've received one in mail but haven't yet installed it. Will report back when i do!
Cheers

Jameco makes a perfect replacement (I have one) and it work with the Rogue and the Taurus II (Rogue on a stick.)

So, it is likely to work for the MG-1 also. It has the 1/8” Tip/Sleeve plug the Rogue and Taurus II uses… I assume the MG-1 does also.

It is labeled:

Product NO: 10102

Model NO: ADU240100

Input 120VAC 60Hz 30W

Output 24VAC 1000mA

Here a link to the current equivalent:

Hope this is helpful J

afaik, the power supply in the MG-1 is the same as in the rogue, that is to say, two 12V regs (one +ve, one -ve) fed from a bridge rectified 24V ac. in the case of the rogue, the transformer is external, which is a right nuisance if you do what I did.... I fixed someone else's rogue that was going on a national tour with a socket & internal toroidal, then took my own rogue to a gig abroad & forgot I hadn't modified it as well, forgot the adaptor.

anyway, any transformer capable of kicking out about 50VA at around 20-24V should do the job.

hth-

duncan.

hey all,
in the process of repairing a Moog MG1 and upon open found the transformer to be literally disintegrating (held together with duct tape!) does any one know whereabouts one could procure a compatible modern replacement for it online?
I've taken a photo of it however i'm unsure how to attach.
that said it's the transformer in this pic i found online (upper right hand quandrant of synth)
cheers!
