    Help in wiring Altec 9442A transformer primary from 120v to 240v

    Thank you for sending me the link to the manual for Altec 9442A , But due to lack of knowledge in reading schematic diagram. I still cannot figure out on how to wire the primary voltage circuit for the amp.

    Link for Altec9442A:

    I found the link to wire Altec model 9444A . It show in a more simply diagram
    eg: TB1(1-10) TB2(1-10) to wire the primary circuit for different voltage.
    Link for Altec9444A:
    http://www.altecpro.com/pdfs/vintage...r%20Manual.pdf But the Altec 9442A manual does not show the same type of simply diagram as in 9444A.
    I had ring a local shop for help in re-strapping the primary circuit to 240v but was told that will charge between 80-100 dollar for the service and owner must provide a schematic.
    Hope you can help.
    Once again, Thank you.

    Could you post a picture of TB1 & TB2 ?

    In the schematic the primaries of the transformer are wired in parallel, they need to wired in series. If I had the amp in front of me it would take about 10 min to do. If I could see a picture of the the current wiring I might be able to help.

    wired to 220V

    got this 9442A from a 2nd hand shop. i opened this while reading the posts and found that it was not wired as per schematic here. i traced the wiring and thought that on this one, the primary was already wired in series.

    i checked the fuse which was still okay, and hoping it won't pop, i plugged this thing into 230V. no pop, indicator lights seemed okay. my unit, as it was wired, works fine with 230V power supply.
