who has done the ARC REF5 upgrade to SE


Hello forummembers , should like to get in contact with a member who has let done this upgrade AND has knowledge of electronics to tell me ( and other members )about the connection of the new capacitorboard to the old board.
Ofcourse I have asked ARC , but as an owner of the REF3 they are not willing to tell me .

We can stop this thread as a forummember took the time to open the upperlid of the REF5 and took a look inside to answer my simple question .
I think he is the only member who has done this upgrade as no answer from other REF5 owners .Grrrr
Hello forummembers ,nobody of you have given an answer to the topic , so again , who of you do have the 5SE version , and is willing to open the 1000 screws of the toplid and have a look at the transformer , the blue coloured thing just behind the frontfaceplate at the right side , on the sameplate you will find the new capactor bord with the 8 black capacitors on it .At the transformer are the data written , what I like to know
is the HVP output , EQ on the REF3 is written 330v/0,11A.
Please , remove the powercord and wait at least 1 hour for lethal voltage before opening the toplid.Hope somebody can help me , as explained ARC US is not willing to help.
OK forummembers , don 't take the efford as described above,the boss of the importer in Germany has given me all
the answers I was looking for .
