16V AC Adapter
by Andrew Wafula 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hello, Anyone knows where I can get a step down adapter which can output 16V AC and about 1000mA? I had one that blew over the weekend and need to replace it for some equipment. The vendor of the equipment says they have none in stock.

What happened to the Skunk awards that were discussed a while back here ?
