Hey guys,

I picked up a Telefunken M1 in mint cosmetic condition the other day, however, when I connected it to the Australian 240V mains, it sounded as if there was arcing behind the tape VU metres - near the power supply.

The 'box is rated at 220V, but I only turned it on for a second, but it seems to have done some damage.

Anyway, now when I run it with batteries, it shows low voltage on the battery display and doesn't have enough power to run properly. Was working perfectly on batteries before I plugged it in!

As you can imagine i'm spewing! Anyone able to clarify whether it was the voltage or another issue that caused the failure? Anyone else had this problem?

Thought I'd ask around before tracing the circuits with the schematics I've downloaded.

Any help much appreciated.
