I ordered 220VAC Power Transformer as I am in Malaysia.

I have completed soldering the parts.

I did my checks on the resistors and the values are pretty close. The 0's read as 0.

If its any help, the label on the transformer read: 2 x 150v 35m ADC transformer (doubler), 6.3v 3arms

Then, when I went on the do the voltage check, the fuse bew twice on me. Pls troubleshoot for me. And also what value for replacement fuse should I get. Could it be that the value for the fuse is  110v as opposed to the 220 that I need?

Thanks for your help.

Is the transformer labeled 240?

Is this a stock Crack, or is the Speedball installed?

The provided fuse is a 1A 250V fast blow. Slow or fast is fine. The same fuses are sent worldwide. You said you blew two fuses, so what did you get for a replacement?

Can you post pictures of your build?

I dont see any 240 on the transformer.

This is a a stock crack. No speedball.

I have yet to buy a new fuse as I am unsure what to get.

That's a 120V label. Presumably it is a 120V transformer. When was this kit ordered? By whom?
