Roland D-50 voltage, 220v to 110v, help-me

[Stereokromatik]

I bought a D-50, but the voltage is changed, it operates at 220v, it was modified ... can anyone help me, showing some internal image of the transformer, because he was converted, and would like to convert to the original voltage, 110V ... if anyone has a schematic image of the transformer or the original, so I could make the change.
Best Regards!

I think you can just buy a Roland power supply. I just had to replace the one for my D5 recently.

Check musiciansfriend.com or even Ebay - I think you'll find what you need

[EDIT] I'm sorry - I just looked at more info, and it looks like that keyboard doesn't use an external supply. Let me see if I can find out anything about how to change the transformer wiring.

I just found someone on the gearslutz website who had the same problem. Here is what he said

I've got one which is set up for 240V.
If you get stuck I could open it up (again ) and check it out.
I need to re-cap it soon anyway.

BTW, I would recommend any D50 which hasn't been re-capped, should be done. It can really help get back that good-as-new sound. These synths are around 30 years old now.

I would like to thank for the tip! I opened the keyboard along with a friend electronics technician, and confirmed what you said, only need to reverse a string, but not have to change the fuse ... the result was this:

The internal energy suply.


After, 220v


Before, 110v



Thank you, so much!!!

That's great news! I'm glad we could get it working...

I think you should still change the fuse.As long as there is one on the primary side of the transformer. If not, do nothing.
It should be twice the Current rating, as you've halved the Voltage.
