C-4000 and C-1 service and upgrade

[roryhamilton 8]

Hi boffins

 

I have a C-4000 and C-1 that need service and upgrades. I contacted Nelion and they were happy until I mentioned a transformer change from 120V to 240V. Is there anyone in the UK that would like to do this work. Looking to start September after hollibobs.

 

Thanks

Welcome to TheCarverSite, @roryhamilton.

 

I take it you are in the UK?

 

I don't have an answer for you on the power supply change to 240..., maybe someone else here might have an old EX (export) unit for parts you could use.

 

...another question:  Are we to assume you already have a US C-1 and C-4000 that is made for 120v?  And you want to convert it for UK use?

 

What about using a transformer, and keeping it at 120v?  That might be easier to achieve.

Welcome !!!!!!

Great to have you with us.

Hope that you get the C-4000 and C-1 sorted and that you can enjoy them.

Welcome to the Carver Site!!

 

I'm kind of reading behind the lines, sounds like these units were maybe operating in a 120v location then they moved to the UK?

 

On the C-1 have you taken a look inside? Some have a switch (SW15) near the power supply. 

 

 

Switch in question - Black item, far right center below white card on top of power supply.

 

If the C-1 has this switch already installed then maybe at least the C-1 has a chance of being restored and upgraded by Nelion.

 

The type of plug will also need to be looked at. What type do both have? US or European?

 

As for the C-4000 I have no Idea if it has a similar switch.

 

While not the most elegant of options it does sound like a Step-up transformer might be the first option? Maybe.

 

When you get 5 or more likes please post some pictures.
