Default Truvox R44

Has anyone got the circuit of the power supply of this transistorised machine. The PSU has been played with and not terribly well and I don't want to blow up the electronics!! It appears to be positive ground, but I would like to check!!!

One of these...

Horrible things! Let it blow up!!

I have the Truvox Service Department manual for this - I'll scan for you later.

The machine you link to is mine. Note that machine had some major mods in the bias area a year or 2 after it was made. I wonder if they did a recall?

Regards,

Paul

Spot on Colin! And to think Truvox (allegedly) bought the design rights when Magnavox packed in. They had a lot of trouble with the 40 and 50 and should have stuck to the 100/200. Hindsight, eh?!
