Not sure if any of this is helpful ?

Canon CA-570 AC power adapter ($7.98 with free shipping at ebay) has the same characteristics as D-AC50:
Input Voltage: 100V-240V AC (50-60Hz)
Output Voltage: 8.4V
Amperage: 2A

A little googling and I found compatible plug MQ172-3SA-CV(50) Digi-Key Part Number H10485-ND (center pin is +V and shield is GND) (only $2.99).

I've seen sites with schematics for building your own, belive the voltage is 8.5v, I think the socket is proprietary to Pentax but a plug was available from Farnell (if they still exist) Good Luck

That's all well and good saying that but, what gloves are good for winter. The steering wheel of a Nissan Micra can be very cold. I have gloves with flip end fingers for using when partaking of my other hobby during winter

Very nice set. The 18-135mm is such a versatile and WR lens

i often wonder what foreign people make of the Scottish phrase 'Away and answer the door I'm in the middle of my tea'.

Makes perfect sense to me of course Ken
It's the greeting from the person answering the door that shows such generosity "Come in, you'll have had your tea"
