Subject description: HOW much for a PSU???
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

The PSU in my Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard crapped out on me earlier this week.

So I sent them an e-mail describing the fault and receive a reply from the Service Dept, saying, “Ach ja - ze pauer supply iz definitely kaputt, but don't vorry - ve can sell you ze new vun for 35 Euro plus ze shipping”.

Meanwhile, I've found a YouTube video of a guy dismantling a Blofeld Keyboard, in which the PSU is revealed to be a standard, Chinese mini-brick.

So I do a search for the product code (SYS1319-3012-T2) and find a company in the UK that sells them.

I have now ordered one... for 17.23 GBP including shipping (and VAT).

That's 19.23 Euro at today's exchange rate. Not 35.

My Blofeld is broken too, seems that these machines are build from waste parts. Sad
