A friend has a Microverb. The input says 9 volts AC--not DC.

Where can he get a power supply? From Alesis? Or does Rdio Shack have a unit that'll work?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt if Radio Shack will have one, but I know DigiKey has one, I forget the part number, or if I had to put on a 1/8" plug for the power (cant get it wrong, it's AC, so either wire to either terminal), but if I recall, it was around $5 You could also check with Mouser electronics, but for some reason, I thin DigiKey was the only one who had them in stock cheaply

I contacted Alesis on numerous occasions to buy one of these units and was cmpletely ignored!!
I finally found one by taking the unit to a battery specialty company here in the phoenix area and they immediatly grabbed one off of the shelf.(Battery Plus Co.)
it says..AC ADAPTOR
part #AC-091B
input 120VAC 60Hz 15W
output 9VAC 1A
plu L2.5X 5.5MM
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
Good hunting.

Some of the older Nintendo games used a 9VAC adapter. Radio Shack used to have replacements for these, although I think I had to change the plug to match the Microverb. I think they were around $10-$12.

Thanks, guys, for your helpful replies. We'll try Radio Shack first, but may have to go the other route.

Too bad Alesis is so unresponsive.

Take the unit with you. Radio Shack had power sources that had the right rating but the plug wouldn't work.

If you have a bit of electrical knowledge, and a soldering iron, you can take the rectifier out of a cheap DC "wall wart" PSU and convert it to AC with no trouble.

Lexicon uses a 9vac power supply. You might try them.

Darvin, my buddy found a Nintendo power supply and it works fine. Thanks again.
