anyone know where i would get one as i'm starting to get withdraw symptoms from lfs

Tried changing the fuse?

Could buy one of these:

And if the plugs the wrong sort chop the one off your broken supply and solder it on. The difference in millamp rating shouldn't be a problem as the PSU will only deliver what the wheel asks for upto its maximum rating.

hi ya
yeah changed the fuse so i know its not that .

have seen these adaptors before but wasn't sure if it would be suitable
i know its not a lot of difference but i wouldn't want to blow up my wheel
have you tried the psu or does anyone else have experience with them because i'd like to know before just plugging any old thing in

thanks 4 your help

I've not tried it and of course if it blows up, destroys your wheel, runs your cat over etc its not my fault But having a power supply capable of delivering more millamps than what you need shouldn't harm it. Its voltage that matters, and its 24v same as what you specified. E.g. for charging up my radio controlled truck batteries I use a 13.8v 20A power supply. The charger only actually draws 5-6 amps, but it doesn't harm it because the supply only delivers what it asks for. Means in my example I can run a couple of chargers off it at once. Should be perfectly safe as long as you get the polarity right on the connector.

Just to confirm that the PSU must provide more current than your wheel needs, your wheel only draws what it needs so even a 2A supply is OK.

I looked at Maplins but only found max 0.5A

RS have this one with 24V/1A http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rs ... =I18NAll&Ntt=400-7156 if you are able to order off them?

edit: This ones cheaper from CPC http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/end ... artDetail.jsp?SKU=PW01531

Get your local info on electrical repair guy's, he will more than likely have a shed full of PSU's from diffrent applications, or your local TV repair shop would have too, even if the jack wasn't the same it's only a simple matter of chopping off the old jack and crimping it onto your new PSU!

cheers guy's
my firm has a contract with rs at work so will see if i can get the boss to order me one in
will let you all know if i blow my wheel up
