Default Re: Akai 4000DS Mk2 (II) UK Only Version Info Please

FWIW, my own 4000DS/II is a UK version; but the instruction manual I received with it refers to the international version. Until I managed to obtain a schematic, I always wondered why it didn't work quite like the manual said it should!

My guess is, it was rewired because the tension switch didn't meet regulations in force in Germany and the UK for a main switch. And both those countries have single-standard mains (Japan has a mix of 50 and 60 Hz), so no need for the frequency options.
