By chance I found MyVolts independently and ordered one of these just last week for my receiver which was doing the classic unresponsive but the TOS LED showing. It arrived today but the plug is the wrong size - it's 4mmOD so a bit snug - much better that slack as Jon says BUT the pin on the Receiver is *TINY* - 1.05mm according to the Wiki https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Receiver.html and it wasn't making proper contact. I did eventually manage to squeeze (HA!) the leaves in the plug using my smallest watchmaker screwdriver to get it to make reliable contact so I now have the receiver working again. There is a comment on the MyVolts suggesting that the plug is suitable for a 2.1mm pin - seems about right but I didn't bother trying to validate that (possibly using small drills as feeler gauges) The PSU is a neat device and rated at 1A according to the sticker so can comfortably cover the receiver, and I will admit that I've not found anywhere that has a plug with the dimensions of the original. My plan A was to just get a generic 9V 600mA/1A adaptor and splice the old lead on to it, but went for the MyVolts as it seemed to be a neater option. The MyVolts one also took a week to come from Switzerland so I'd have been better off getting a cheaper generic 9V one from CPC in a day or two and doing some soldering and heat shrinking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ multiplex's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105690
