Re: DIY AC Adapter for Casio CZ-101

2007-08-02 by iamalienhs

i did lose my power suply for my cz101, eventualy i found it again 
but in the mean time i tried several powerpacks with it and had 
varing success , most would power the keyboard but not to a 
sufficiant level to make it work properly.

i will dig my casio out later and have a look at the origonal psu and 
give you as many details from it as i can.

if i dont get it done tonight i will try and get it done tomorow
