Several years ago I purchased a power supply module (it says PR3I3 on the pcb) and a CAPBANK6 module from Paul Hynes to create an external power supply for my Technics SL1210 turntable. Unfortunately I never got around to using them as my life took a few turns. This week I took them out from their hiding place thinking perhaps its time to put them to use.
But, I've forgotten how to hook them up - i.e., which wire goes where including those for the capacitor bank - both inside an appropriate enclosure and within the turntable itself. Also, I don't recall what the capacitor bank adds to the mix. I assume it provides backup power but can't remember what Paul said at the time or why he recommended I add it to the power module.
I am not an electrical wizard so really need detailed help with selecting the appropriate wire (e.g., the xxVolt positive wire from the toroid transformer goes to this place on the board). I've also forgotten whether these modules include a regulator (thus, do I remove the stock Technics one?). Would you be able to point me to a place where I can learn what I need to do? I am quite careful with AC power and know the dangers and can solder, etc.; it's just figuring out which wire does what. Thanks.
