We were finishing up our parts purchases for the upcoming DSP-93 build and our supplier for the 9v AC wall transformer has dried up. So - if you know of a supplier with 9v AC Wall Transformers (much like you find with video games) rated at 1.5 amps with a 5mm plug (ID 2.6mm) please contact me (wd5ivd@tapr.org). We are still looking, but I wanted to see if anyone might be able to help short cut the current effort.
