A friend has a Microverb. The input says 9 volts AC--not DC.Where can he get a power supply? From Alesis? Or does Rdio Shack have a unit that'll work? Thanks in advance. Chris ------------------

I doubt if Radio Shack will have one, but I know DigiKey has one, I forget the part number, or if I had to put on a 1/8" plug for the power (cant get it wrong, it's AC, so either wire to either terminal), but if I recall, it was around $5 You could also check with Mouser electronics, but for some reason, I thin DigiKey was the only one who had them in stock cheaply |

I contacted Alesis on numerous occasions to buy one of these units and was cmpletely ignored!!
I finally found one by taking the unit to a battery specialty company here in the phoenix area and they immediatly grabbed one off of the shelf.(Battery Plus Co.)
it says..AC ADAPTOR
part #AC-091B
input 120VAC 60Hz 15W
output 9VAC 1A
plu L2.5X 5.5MM
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
Good hunting. |

Some of the older Nintendo games used a 9VAC adapter. Radio Shack used to have replacements for these, although I think I had to change the plug to match the Microverb. I think they were around $10-$12.------------------

Thanks, guys, for your helpful replies. We'll try Radio Shack first, but may have to go the other route.Too bad Alesis is so unresponsive. Chris |

Take the unit with you. Radio Shack had power sources that had the right rating but the plug wouldn't work. |

If you have a bit of electrical knowledge, and a soldering iron, you can take the rectifier out of a cheap DC "wall wart" PSU and convert it to AC with no trouble.

Lexicon uses a 9vac power supply. You might try them. |
