Edit - Just noticed this transformer I have here has a 110v input! Cool!


What is not so cool is that the mains in my area seems to have gone up to 250v. This means the output of the transformer is not 27.5v and I think this explains the problems I am seeing. If the higher the input voltage the slower the arm, then I have found my Gremlin.

Funny, when I first tested this transformer all the voltages checked out ok, but now I am using it the input voltage has jumped a little. Bugger!

What sparked this retesting off is the fact that the PC Playbox2 doesn't work either! (even at 50Hz setting).

Anyone good as PSU design ?
