Accuphase E-3000 voltage conversion


Did anyone already attempt an E-3000? I’m wondering if the voltage selection still looks similar as on the other older 2xx models. Anyone got a photo of the interior? Can’t seem to find anything online. Thank you in advance guys

This thread is interesting. Daniel1115, can you take a picture of what your unit looks like opened up and disassembled to get to the power supply?

@easystreamer  Sure, I’ll take some photos of the unit. Getting to the power supply PCB is very simple, just open up the bottom panel and it’s right in front of you. Getting to the auxiliary transformer requires a bit more disassembly work: Take off the side panel and move some of the cable bundles. Taking off the side panel will make it much easier to access the aux PCB. 
The current challenge that I’m having is finding a matching part for the aux transformer running on 230V and exactly fitting the PCB. 
I contacted the manufacturer of the original part asking if they sell a 230V part, yet to receive a response though. 

@imhififan It was quite tough to find an exact match but I have 2 parts on the way to me now. Unfortunately rated for 220V input, but that should be alright. 
I‘ll let you know once I had a chance to test everything out. 

@imhififan I got the replacement transformer in now and I just want to say: Thank you so much for your help and support, you are truly the Man.

Tested with a DBT first and everything looked exactly as it should. I tested the amp extensively now and I’m beyond happy. Can confirm the 230V settings are correct. 
Thank you all so much for your help :)
