Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Re: I need an adapter! where can i find one!!

I always get my backup PS adapters at goodwill or salvation army from $.50 to $5.00. They usually have a box of em to sort through. find one that matches your volts (9v for a korg Poly800) and preferabbly match the milliamps too. If the polarity is reversed, you can always cut the cord at one end and reverse the wires to switch polarity which is what I had to do on my poly800 because it's polarity is different than most 9v adapters....
 
Or go to Radioshack and buy a universal adapter for $12-$20 that comes with a variety of adapter plugs and you can adjust the voltage and polarity on those. Good luck, Joseph

You don't need to put back the factory patches. you just need to get
SOMETHING in there. Sit down with it and make a patch or three. Mine
wiped out 2 banks (70 and 80 i think) when it's batteries went low.
