Determining correct AC/DC adapter for equipment
My new family owns a large selection of light toys collected over the
years. Unfortunately, in many cases the adapter is missing. Now, we also a cache of old adapaters of varying voltages, ampages (is that a word?) and polarities - AC/DC and AC/AC. Without the benefit of manuals and, in some cases, no information on the toy casing either, I have had a few mishaps blindly attempting to match up adapters to toys (mishaps involving the smell of burning component). My question is, in the absence of the usual information (or a multi-tester), is there a way to determine what adapter is required for a particular toy/appliance? Maybe opening up the toy and calculating something from the components used inside? In hope Dean |
