hello! OH MY GOD! I so hope you didn't listen to ANY of these replies that suggested 1000 MA, or 650 MA, or 600MA, or anything over 300 MilliAmps. from the Korg website: ∗9 VOLT 300 Milliamps∗ Part/Model number:
KAC9500 center plug is 2,1 mm.
outer ring of PSU connector is "+" positive.
center tip of PSU connector is "-" negative. , thats what all the Poly800 eletronics are rated for, what comes with Poly800 from the factory, thats what the manual says to use, and the KORG website.. You will damage your little plastic Poly800 seriously if you go above 300MA, maybe not immediately, but it will be all about melted plastic and burning caps and resistors and PCBs,,, LOL!!! those had to be a joke right?
whatever... I hope you didn't melt your KORG...
I just bought this adaptor on eBay for 8.50 USD, and there are lots more! hope I wasn't too late for you! --- On Tue, 2/10/12, bimmerfan222 <bperkins211@...> wrote:

I've been using a radio Shack 300mA supply on my korg for the last year without any problems. But I would agree that having at least 500mA would be preferrable. there are 1A 9v adapters on ebay everyday for about 5 dollars shipped... I may have to invest in one and upgrade mine. -Blaine --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, Michael Hawkins <korgpolyex800@...> wrote: > > Holy moly! My bad, I meant to say 600mA.
