Title: Replacement PSU?
Post by: dvdborn on January 09, 2015, 06:26:49 AM
Has anyone ever put a replacement PSU in his/her EIII? I'd like to know the manufacturer and the modelnumber.

I've no need for it now. But I want to be prepared for whenever my PSU should fail. I've already had one failed PSU that was beyond repair in my EIII keyboard. At the time I was lucky enough to find an exact replacement from a scavenged EIII unit.

However, I don't think that I'll be that lucky next time.

This is all from memory, but as I recall when I last looked I found it hard to find a PSU with enough power on the 12v/5v lines that also supplied +/- 15v (i.e. 4-output PSU). I'm fortunate enough to have purchased a spare EIII PSU in the mean time. :)

i did changed capacitors in bout of mine EIII, also replaced 5v trim pot for multi turn one !

no need to change psu unless its dead and not fixable .. BUT switching PSU are actually good and i only have seen few dead .. with THAT classic problem of dead 1uf cap!
