Roland/Rhodes MK-60 Transformer

Roland/Rhodes MK-60 Transformer

2009-03-28 by tedwood@btopenworld.com

I've got a Rhodes MK-60 here whose mains transformer primary has gone open circuit. I'm guessing spares will be hard to come by.  

There are two secondary windings, one of which appears to be centre-tapped. Anyone know what the secondary voltages should be?

Anyone out there with an MK-60 or MK-80 who could measure them for me?

The voltages at  the secondary of  a MKS-80 transformer(same part  
number) are 9.6 VAC and 32VAC center tapped.

Is that 16-0-16 or 32-0-32 ?
