Well, it seems much easier to find a European to 100-120v transformer than it is to find a 100 -> 120v transformer, at least it was for me. It ended up just being an issue of finding one the correct polarity and hoping the rest of the specs are just fine.
 
Also, if Orca knows what he's talking about (and it seems like he does), the adapter that I ordered will work perfectly.

Wouldn't it have been easier to get a transformer and use the stock adapter? At least that's what I'm going to use, since you can't find a single center negative adapter here in Germany.

Well, I emailed Yamas and there is no reply. What other options do I have if I want to do some serious restoration? I'd really like this $500 investment to last a long while. The crack on the cable insulation is tiny but worrisome nonetheless. I also want to make sure that there is nothing amiss with the drivers and clean up the driver housing a bit. I don't think I can do much myself without detailed pictorial or video guide.

Try emailing/calling their service division Accutech instead.

Well, you guys are just wonderful. That's the kind of answer I was hoping for originally.
I'll order that one and send the other one I ordered back when it gets here.
 
Thanks again.

Have a mint Stax SR-44 set at home, borrowed from a friend, consisting of a SRD-4 adapter and SR-40 electret. Is there somebody whom I can mail the jpg to, for adding it to the wiki.faust3d.com ?
 


Thanks to Spritzer I have now a SRD-6 refitted with a new bias board, so it outputs the Pro bias. Thank you Spritzer and others here for recommending the SR-Lambda Signature, found one which is coming to me, so hopefully I can enjoy the Stax sound next week, might like it

The leaflet inside the SR-44 box says: PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS !
.....In a district of Africa an old man was found who has kept same sensivity and frequency responce as lad's and its cause is that he has lived in an extremely quiet noiseless environment.(By Medical Department of Osaka University)

I thought the purpose of the wiki was that users can edit and create new pages themselves?

Just wondering why you sent them to the UK instead of Japan for cable replacement?
