Below is a picture of what was sent with the unit...is this ok? If not what do I need? Thank you davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11885 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 2:02 pm:    There is a post on this question in the FAQ section here, which says: "A wide voltage range is acceptable, from 10.5 - 17VDC with a miniature coaxial connector. Important: Make sure the center contact of the connector is positive. If you use the wrong polarity, a choke will burn out and need replacing, but the rest of the unit will be intact." bassman8416 Intermediate Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 198 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 2:21 pm:    Can you please describe where I would look for the center contact, is this on the plug itself? I apologize for my ignorance with these type of things.

That little diagram to the right shows the plug layout and polarity.

Can't be too complete! bassman8416 Intermediate Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 200 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 5:44 pm:    Thank you Mica and friends!!!! bassman8416 Advanced Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 201 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 5:49 pm:    Thank you Mica and friends!!!! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8582 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 6:04 pm:    I whipped this up to show what to look for on the illustration: bassman8416 Advanced Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 202 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2015 - 6:12 pm:    Beautiful, thats exactly what I have.

Of course, as soon as I bought the new power supply I found the old one. terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2398 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 1:46 am:    This why this company is top class outstanding, what other CEO would bother to furnish this information or even reply to the ordinary guy in the street!
