I would like info on volts / amps / polarity, please. Will any 12 volt adapter work and not ruin the radio? thanks
Here is a general case solution that might work even if you don't have the manufacturer's expensive adapter if you have some tech skills. Check the input plug on the radio. If you are lucky it should have a symbol next to it with a dot within a circle. The dot gives the polarity of the center connector and the circle gives the polarity of the outer connector of the plug. If you are super lucky, you will have the correct adapter already in your parts bin. Otherwise, you can buy universal 12V power adapters online from all electronics and radio shack. They include just about every kind of plug option and also some feature to select polarity.You can try the various plugs and find the one that fits perfect & then set the correct polarity. The current is not so important as long as you meet or exceed the required capacity which is often not given. Both universal adapters can provide 1000 mA which should be more than adequate. There is always a chance to screw up any electronic part; I can attest to that, but I keep 2 or 3 universal 12V power bricks on hand and have used them for many tech items.
