Electric Mistress deluxe modifierad 18V (Hyllan)

An Electric Mistress deluxe purchased in rather poor external condition has been fixed. The power cord was a safety hazard and I simply replaced it with a power jack for power supply. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run it on 9v because the circuit is designed for higher voltage. The transformer provides 18v on the secondary and it is then regulated down. Many modern ”fuel tanks” have an outlet for 18V and it is one that is required to make the circuit work. So you have to use an 18v power supply ”center negative”. The transformer has been removed as shown, but it and the original power cord are included in the purchase for the collector if you want them. The goal was to put this back on track. And it sounds analog and nice! The pots are sprayed but there are still some cracks from the color pot. A telejack could be replaced, it’s a bit loose but it’s an easy thing for those who want to get on with it. Two nuts for the panel pots have been replaced and also the nut for the foot button. The bottom cover lacks two rubber feet.

There is no serial number on it as far as I can see but the one after some searching is my guess that it is from 1979. Based on the Reticon SAD 1024 chip.
