Re: New Power Adaptor for Poly 800 and question about multi mods (Hawk)

2012-10-02 by bimmerfan222

I've been using a radio Shack 300mA  supply on my korg for the last year without any problems.
But I would agree that having at least 500mA would be preferrable.

there are 1A  9v adapters on ebay everyday for about 5 dollars shipped...  I may have to invest in one and upgrade mine.
