Measurements from the tip on the AC adapter
.215x.110x.375 aka 7/32x7/64x3/8
using my handy monkeypeter conversion chart closest is
5.5x2.8x9.5

not near my adaptaplug tips so can't give you which size it is according to the adapataplug size chart it takes tip "O"

center is positive

Thanks!  I also heard from a friend that he used "m" tips with no issues.

I also use the M tip when I used adaptaplug cables*. Not an ideal fit but it does work. I had an old wallwart that had died but did have the correct plug size for the LE so I hacked and spliced the end. I've successfully run the LE with the following external voltages: 6, 7.2, 9, 9.6 and 12; unit still functions so any of those voltages should do no harm. With the internal connection being 6v and the AC adapter supplying 12v I figured it would run on any voltage between and it has with every voltage I've tried.

Just for the record the AC wallwart output is 12v 600mA.



* Use your UA5/DVD batt cable but remember to reverse the polarity.
