My Jukebox is imported from the USA and is designed for operation on 110V only. Next to a conversion to the European frequency of 50 Hz. it is needed to convert the voltage from 230V to 110V. Therefore a step down transformer is needed.

Since I read an article in a magazine about problems with the fact that in Europe the Voltage is boosted from 220V to 240V the step down transformers are giving also a higher voltage than 110V , I took my voltage meter and measured what my Transformer did and noticed that my voltage was 122V, this is not good (it should never be above 115V).

If the voltage is higher that 115V you can get fire or serious electric shocks, so be aware and do not trust you old step down transformer.

I also had a humming noise when I touched the metal of the jukebox, to solve both problems and give my jukebox a longer lifetime, I bought a Isolating Transformer at www.Jukebox-world.de

The new Isolating transformer, solved the humming noise and lowerd the heat of the TL Trafo and the turning table motor.

One of the best investments ever.

Isolating transformer,

My next challenge is going to be the 50Hz to 60 Hz conversing.
