What type of (US) AC adapter does the Shinybow take?

Post by Rock Man »

Hi,

I'm looking for a compatible American power supply for this powerful switcher.

http://www.yourspares.co.uk/manufacture ... 520UK.aspx

Appears to come with a power block and European based-AC adapter. I need to plug it into a US outlet.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I see two options. 1.) Get a compatible power plug. 2.) Get a converter plug from Radioshack to correct the output. Which would you guys recommend?

You'll have to look at the label on the adapter and see what the acceptable input voltages are. If it says something like "100 - 240V" then all you need is a plug adapter.

If it will only accept 200-240V then you need a different adapter or a voltage converter.
