SHARP GF-7

[HAL_0]

Anyone have any idea how many amps this box draws from its DC adapter? I have a tidy example of the GF-7 but am searching the thrift shops for compatible adapter. There doesn't seem to be many adapters around with a negative pin polarity either.

I'm using an adapter with 1.5 amp output and it works fine.

Thanks. This seems more likely than the 350 mA someone else suggested a while back. Any idea how many watts this box puts out? I don't have a spec sheet and I would be interested to know.

do you have a USA link for these high amp adaptors ?
most at ratshack are 1 amp or far less

Here's an original adaptor rated at 500mA

Thanks. Can you post the spec sheet from the Instruction Manual?

Mine is a Radio Shack adapter cat. no. 273-1771.

Thanks for the specs. My box is a GF-7A so I'm assuming the total output would be 10 watts or under. That means the box could be drawing upto 1200 mA or so. That helps.

Thread update. Finally got this baby working yesterday. Picked up a suitable adapter from a thrift shop for two bucks. Everything comes to him who waits. Total cost to date: two bucks and the bruised abdominal muscles I got leaning into the skip. It now has pride of place in my new workshop.

When I use the headphone / line out jacks, the sound keeps coming out of the speakers. This is a real problem as I have a lot of tapes to digitize! Anyone know how (and if) can I mute the speakers when using phones / lineout?

Careful with the polarity!
If you reverse it the box will die in a heartbeat!
Double check before you plug in.

I have two of these and ive never even switched them on. But they look very nice
