Holly's experience reminded me of something stupid
that I did (twice). Not that Holly did anything that
was less than smart...just her experience reminded me
of what I did.
I finally decided to stop wasting batteries when
playing my Sharp MT15 in the car. I hooked it up to
the cigarette lighter with adaptor that I used to use
with my portable CD player. Now I know that the unit
requires an input of 4.5v from reading this list
(otherwise I would never have known that or even
thought to ask). Did I check the voltage rating on
the adaptor? Of course not. It was 6.0v. The unit
played fine for about 1/2 hour, and then it stopped
playing and the MD display read "Power ?". Couldn't
get it to work again so I gave up.
A few days later, I tried again. Again it worked for
about 1/2 hour and then stopped working. Finally, I
checked the voltage on the adaptor. Must have had a
fuse in the adaptor - glad that it did. My Sharp
seems no worse for the wear.
I am going to go out an try to find a cigarette
lighter adaptor that I can use with my MD (Sharp
MT-15). I will probably start at Radio Shack (though
I hate them) for want of any other ideas. Is there
anything else I should know other than 4.5v? Also,
will I even be able to find one?
Feeling very lucky (and just a bit stupid),
James
