Power Supply

[80sboy]

If anyone who has a working EII and happens to have or can get a kill-a-watt device to measure how much power the EII is drawing under load (disks loading, playing etc...)

http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311809852&sr=8-1

  That would help determine the maximum size power supply required. I've only found one reference to the supply being mentioned as 150W MAX. If under load we find that it's really only drawing half that or whatever, it would help me determine if the power supply I'm looking at is big enough.

  Thanks!

Update:8/23/2011

  Picked my EII back up form a great tech here in the Bay Area  www.thisoldsynth.com

  Power supply up and running now! What's left is to pull all the chips on the boards and clean all the sockets and legs, there is definite tarnish/corrosion there. Chris recommends Isopropyl, with maybe a little deoxit - is there a good standard procedure to get all the corrosion/gunk out of the IC's?

  Also just received a DPX-1 in the mail today with a bunch of EII disks, so double wammy.

 AND also picked up from repair a Drumulator, working great now, with MIDI and the JLCooper 3 Chip kit installed! Budget Linn!

 Time to re-arrange the studio......again.....
