Universal AC Adapter for 1102
 

Hi everybody,

I just got a Degan 1102 today. What a great radio,
I've been listening to it for a couple of hours so
far. Anyway, the 220v converter that came with it got
busted up during shipping. I didn't really want to
deal with returning it just for the converter so I
figure I'd go pick up one of those universal ac
adapters. If I stick with the 6v 300mA will it be ok?
I don't know if going with a 110v adapter would make
any difference but I just wanted to make sure before
something blew up. What about the size of the plug
that goes into the radio? Will it fit?


Thanks,


Xavier

If the Degen is looking for 6v dc then whether it comes from a 110 or
220 volt power supply is irrelevant. The important point is whether
the center pin in the connector is negative or positive and whether you
can find one to fit. At one time RS sold power supplies with
changeable tips, so you might check with them. Also make sure the
power supply is rated to just a little over the needs of the radio.
Let me know what you find. I have a 1103 on the way.

You may wish to inquire at the KAITO / DEGEN 1102 eGroup on YAHOO !
about what others have done for 110VAC to 6VDC Power Adapters.
