I called Inventronics to purchase a new cord for my thumb switch. $25 plus about $8 shipping. I got a cord with 1/8" tips and two adaptors to make the Accutuner size for around $9.00. Making profit is fine BUT.......<BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I looked on the Inventronics website and didn't see the answer to my question. I was trying to find my other adapter for charging my ol' Accutuner I. I think I found it--a spare that I got from Radio Shack some time ago.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>It's generally best to use the same output voltage. Otherwise, you might burn a circuit in your SAT. :-) It might indeed work, but I'd stick with what the manufacturer says to be on the safe side.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In your case, you'd need a 9V (output) adapter. Radio Shack will have what you need. Take your SAT with you, and they'll set you up. Basically, it's as simple as getting the correct output voltage and plug size. Plug size is not as important, but voltage usually is. Wal-Mart would also have a generic adapter that would probably work. Both stores probably have the universal adapters with selectable voltage.</DIV>
