hey all,
i'm trying to help alex out by loaning him my old DA-P1. the problem is that i can't find the wall charger for the ecocharge battery that goes with it. this wouldn't be a problem except that the ecocharge has the old small, circular external interlocking mechanism as opposed to the regular internal 4 pin locking mechanism. can anybody suggest a quick and inexpensive way of making an external power supply or direct me to a store where i can buy a 6V SLA charger? i don't really have time to use the internet as he needs the deck by tuesday. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Yes, please help ;) If it turnes out that if we cant get this to work, Brian Skalinder sent me his spare d100, but I would feel better about using Jef's P1 as he will be at all the shows taping also. THANKS FOR ANY HELP, AND T++++ again to Jef and Brian!

Your least expensive option is probably to just buy one of the cheap $20 wall units available at the electronic/battery stores that will charge the 6v SLA battery, then buy two 4 pin XLR connectors and solder those on. Then when you find the wall unit, buy another 4 pin XLR and solder that onto the wall wart. Worst case, you end up with an extra wall unit that can provide you recharge capabilities should you need it.
