Default where do i find old power supplies
OTHER than ebay, does anyone know a site that sells old power supplies? i have a groove box (mc303) and my brother lost the power supply last time i borrowed it to him; ebay only has been selling the groovebox itself.

that should work with any ol' radioshack multi voltage power supply. you dont need to hunt down the actual adaptor.

yea, but eventually i want to sell it, and it's going to get more money with a roland power supply than a generic 'shack version.

i'm glad u mentioned this... i have always been leery of using universal power supplies, but now i will do so... you just have to make sure to match the proper volts and amps, right? what about the polarity switch on the universal supplies? is that a big deal?

It won't fry anything if it is set wrong, it just won't work. Your pedal will have an mA or A requirement, and you want your supply to provide at least that or more.

Anyway here's a sweet little thing i just spoiled myself with: http://godlyke.com/shopping/pgm-more...ation.php?id=5
Check out how it only takes up one plug, no wall wart. Plus this thing will (hopefully) power any pedal I ever want to use, all at the same time.
