Seeking Specification

2010-05-19 by Mike

To the group,

I am rebuilding a power supply for a farfisa matador-r.  I am looking for the specification for the SFF5002E Frequency divider.  Any help will be appreciated.

as a rule of thumb, I look at the ratings of any electrolytics in the vicinity, & start with a variable DC power supply around half what I see, current limited. slowly increase the voltage until the whatever it is sems to be working happily.
but that's a last resort & presumes that a lab bench supply is easily available.
is nothing left of the original supply to get clues from?

Hi,

You can buy the manual here:
http://www.alsguitars.co.uk/farfisa-matador-organ--technical-info-181-p.asp
the chip is used by several other organs so maybe you can look for manuals of the other organs:

Seems to be the same as HBF 4740: + and - 12 V
