Hi all
First time here - neat set-up.
I have a Fostex X-28 4-track that I haven't used in a long time but would like to use again. It's in good condition (or seems to be, despite being borrowed long-term by a relative) but the AC adaptor has disappeared.
Any idea where I can get a replacement? Or a decent substitute? The manual describes it as a 12v (11-15v) AD-12T AC Adaptor, giving 15w for 220/240v (I'm in the UK). I've looked on various suppliers sites but nothing seems to quite match the spec and I'm a bit worried about overloading it. There seem to be wide variations in ampage in the universal adaptors I've looked at - does this matter? I've also come across references to positive and negative input - does this apply to the Fostex?
There are two adaptors on Amazon that might seem to fit the bill:
Universal AC/DC MAINS POWER ADAPTOR 300MA 3/4.5/6/7.5/9/12 VOLT
and
Universal Regulated 2000mA AC/DC 2a Adapter power --P-007F
The first is 300mA, the second 2000mA. I have no idea which to go for (or even what it means, if I'm honest).
I'm sure someone out there will have had a similar problem. Meanwhile I'm off to nose around the site - had no idea it existed until about an hour ago. Looks fascinating.
Haven't done this for quite a while but I've recently got my appetite back. Plenty to feed on here, I think...
Big thanks (especially for reading this far!)
