Hello Everyone, I only manage to dip in here every now and then these
days but it is always nice to see the regulars still plugging away...

Anyway, would anyone know the specs for the power jack that would plug
in to a Discman? Maplin do a huge selection -- they said take it to
one of their shops and try everyone - I don't have a shop near me.

RS only do the 2.1 and 2.5 and another one ( I forget) none of which
fit. I have to make up a doodah for my mate's kids. 3 kids in the car,
trip to Germany, all with Discmans, lots of batteries. I have the DC
adaptor, just can't find the right power connector.

Ta.

Have you thought of going to *Sony* site and looking up the specs?

Proprietry items are sometimes incompatible with the standard Maplin
connectors - just to prevent folk plugging in their own PSU. You could
try Ebay for a s/h Sony psu.

There are well over a dozen sizes of these type of power connectors, so it
might be worth measuring the existing one. The diameter of the centre
contact can vary too as well as the outside one.
