Default Re: Schlumberger Solartron 7150 IEC inlet & filter

The original type fitted to 7150/7150/7150+/7063, amongst other Solartron stuff, was a Schaffner FN372-2-21. They are still available from various sources. We have replaced many of these over the years, (I have worked for Solartron since 1968). They seem to have a nasty habit of going up in a disgustingly smelly puff of smoke and leaking a sticky brown gunge inside the unit. I don't know whether Schaffner modified the design but later ones don't seem so prone to fail.
Any units with a different type filter have probably been changed by the user after failing in this way. I don't remember there being different mains transformers.
