Janice, the info I sent you is correct, don't panic! It would be Really Keen, if someone with an original PowerCD adaptor could provide the specs listed on the adaptor ONE MORE TIME, just so everyone is completely clear on the power requirements for this puppy. Points 1 and 3 above are correct. Point 2 is no longer clear, but the last I heard, the adaptor for the PowerCD outputs 9Volts AC at 1 Amp ( not DC). I just went over my previous post for you janice, and everything there is accurate. All you need to do, is confirm the specs from an original PowerCD power adaptor, and then you know what to find. Since you don't have one of your own, disregard my suggestion about re-using the plug from yours ( I didn't know you were without one, and assumed you had a 'dead' one instead ) But it looks like you understand the basics! Probably better than you ever hoped to! Please let us know when you find one, and we'll make sure it's safe to plug in, before you actually use it! Fair enough?
