Sure. Before I got rid of my FMR and got a real recorder, I had all that
stuff. In fact, I might have a spare I could shoot your way in return for an
SASE. It takes a 6 volt adapter with an "H" plug. The plug is the same on
all the Archoses (Archi?) that I have or have had, a Studio 10, an FMR
(actually several in series as they failed and were replaced on warranty) and
several Recorder V1's. The voltage is different but the plugs are the same.

I tried to run them all at one voltage but it didn't work. The V1 will run on
6 volts but won't charge the battery. The FMR will run on 9 volts but it
smokes the charging circuit.

The fixed voltage switch mode adapter with the guts built into the cig lighter
plug works very well. That's what I have.
