Re: Where to get chargers for Recorder 20, bug, and suggestion

I use a regulated power supply I got from Maplin (uk) set to 12v with the
correct polarity with no problems.

It wouldnt supprise me if the one supplied with the JB had died - mine didnt
even work when it was brand new, it had a dodgy connection on the plug. Heap
of s**t !

The jukebox itself , on the other hand, has worked perfectly ever since I
got it
