altec 1598B psu - multi tap for uk voltage?

Paul Fury 161 · Apr 15, 2007

Hi all, i'm interested in buying an altec 1598b off ebay US, wondered if anybody here knows if it is possible to wire the mains tranny for 220/240v, or if it's 110v only. Been looking and searching, thought somebody here might know?
Anyone?
Cheers,
Paul

I assume that you are mistyping "1589b" If so, I can help you.
Altec mostly equipped their stuff with "international" PSU, so the only thing you have to do is to desolder the connections 1+2 and 3+4 and connect 2+3 at mains "barrier strip". There is also a little voltage identification plate that you can flip from 110V to 240V. Altec rocks...

Can confirm this foir the 1589B: the doc shows just the kind of transformer that Holger mentioned.
