Hi all,

My EX-800 manual says it requires 9V 300ma minimum,I also have an
Alesis MK61 controller keyboard which lights up like a christmas tree
which needs a 9V 500ma psu,an Arturia Minibrute which needs 12V 1A and
an Akai MiniAK which also lights up like a christmas tree 1.2A
so whoever designed the Poly/EX-800 in 1983 knew his stuff!

Don't worry Gordon if your fawlty medical science or viagra can put it right these days...
One great thing about the Poly/EX800 is they are so easy to fix,they go on forever (a bit like a Toyota car) 9/10 battery,the Atari ST is the only one I think is easier.
