Assuming the power adapter is to use instead of the NiCad (not to charge it) you should be able to find a generic one that has the right voltage /current.
I was after a mains supply for my camera for ages & eventually found the specs of the pentax model (6.5V 3.5A), armed with this I got a generic (6V switched mode, 7A max) one from e-bay for ~£20 which seems to work fine.
(I thought it worth the gamble on the slightly lower voltage as the camera usually uses 4 rechargables =4.8V)

Thanks for the lead. I was outbid on both with the battery grip going for £51.55 and the cable for £10.50. Oh well...
Best wishes, Kris.

No, not one of those. It is just a combined plug/transformer that you use to charge the NiCAD packs for the LX motordrive.

OK. I made my own. The main thing was to keep the charge to 11mA as I remember that the cells are 110mA nicads. Input was 24vDC. I can send you the details as it's a simple arrangement to make. I ended up marking +ve & -ve on my power pack case as I used individual cables with small sleeve sockets to fit the power pack pins. Works fine and is reverse polarity protected. (If I was in UK, I'd make one up for you).No, not one of those. It is just a combined plug/transformer that you use to charge the NiCAD packs for the LX motordrive.

They are a bit suspicious about foreign bids there, so if you like I can send the seller a Dutch message.

Way beyond me but if you could send me the details I know a man who can. Whether he will or not is another question, however! OK. I made my own.

Nothing ever came of that. It sat there for ages then disappeared.womble wrote:

Chances are it sold then. Or the owner just gave up trying to sell it.
I missed the bit about one on Marktplaats or I would have helped you with it. Sorry.

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
My Power Pack M (it is a type of mains adaptor lead for the NiCAD powerpack for the LX Motordrive) is not working. I would ideally like to buy a replacement if anyone has one to sell. Failing that, does anyone have one I could borrow for a few weeks to test that everything else is working well? Obviously, I'll reimburse postage etc.
Many thanks, Kris.
