Title: Super CDROM2 AC Adapter
Post by: schweaty on October 06, 2014, 06:55:14 AM

Looks like my AC Adapter has bitten the dust.  It blew its fuse about a month ago and I replaced it.  The fuse is still intact, but the transformer is stone cold.  I'm not getting any voltages over 1V on it anywhere.  Anybody got any thoughts on how to fix it?  If its not worth fixing, whats a good replacement?  I could get any 12V 1A positive ac adapter and canabalize the cord if i had to, but if there is a known solid replacement, I would prefer that.

I remember when I was working on powering my PCE with IFU attached, I finally just decided to buy one of these:

I've used one of these for various things:

They work pretty decently.
