Topic: UA5 Power Adapter Replacement - What size tip/plug?

[davepeck]

so my original UA5 AC adapter flaked out on me.. went to radioshack and picked up a new 9V AC adapter, with an "Adaptaplug Q" (the part that plugs into the UA5), which is 6.33mm O.D.x3.0mm I.D. i even brought the UA5 into RS with me to make sure i got a plug that fit, and this one was nice and snug. well, i get it home, plug it into the wall, and while the plug IS snug, the power goes in and out if you so much as bump the cord. 

anyone know the correct adapter to get for this? thanks in advance..

I believe I've used the M in the past for the UA5

thanks for the tip, dan! (pun blatently intended) went to RS today and switched the Q for the M and it works. glad i have the UA5 back in business..

no prob. Just make sure you get the polarity right.
