It appears that the PSU for my SB3 has expired so does anyone have any recomendations for a replacement?

I cant actually see what the voltage/current output spec is to take it into Maplins or somewhere similar.

Any suggestions as I use this at work so am now having to rely on an old radio to keep me sane :(

Hi Graham, the SB3 is 5V, I use one of these on mine...

...it is SMPS, but it's better than the standard one, and finding a 5V linear PSU at a reasonable price is pretty tough :eyebrows:

Mark Grant offers a reasonably priced one...

I use the Maplins SMPS one, in conjunction with an SBooster to good effect, definitely an improvement over the original, and within a reasonable budget, especially if it's just for work...:)

P.S. 'Let it happen Mr bass player!' ;)
