Hi Everyone,
I had managed to dig out a mint condition Denon DP-37f a couple of months ago. I have been using it with an Audio Techinca cartridge and it performs super smooth. The turntable has the voltage shifting options for 120/220/240 Volts.
To my disappointment, the turntable just did not power on this Monday. I have checked the wire and have connected it in various sockets as well. I read on a lot of forums and found out how it could be a possible blown fuse which is causing the problem. I opened up the TT and did not find any fuses inside. I took it to an electronics repairer and he checked whether current was getting inside the TT. The power cord is transferring the current but there is no supply on the main board of the table ahead of the transformer. He checked with the meter and concluded by saying that the 220V voltage has a problem and that the primary coil of the transformer has gone bad. He has asked me to get it rewound and post that it should work fine.
On consulting another electronics guy, he told me that by getting the transformer rewound, it could have an impact on the main board of the TT.
My call is to all the knowledgeable folks on this forum to guide me as to how should I go about getting my TT fixed. Is ther a possibility of me sourcing the same transformer from anywhere or is it safe enough to get the existing one rewound ? Once i get this rewound, the possibility of using the TT at 120/240V goes down the drain, not that it matters but still.
Please advise.
