Can anyone tell me what they are using for a backup adapter for their PSR keyboards? Isee the PA-301 for $139 and then see HOng Kong specials for $13.99. I can't find anything in between and no one seems to have any in stock. Help?

The specs on the PA150 indicate that it should not be not compatible with the PSR s910.

Cass,

I picked up a $13 Hong Kong adapter for a friend and it works like a charm. He has used it every day for nearly six months without a glitch.

Cass I just ordered one thru Amazon, haven't received it yet, but as it turns out JR Electronics and Music in NYC is the dealer its coming from. JR has a great return policy just in case.

Here is a Q&A exchange from one of the eBay Hong Kong distributors. I really don't knw if we ubderstand each other because I would think that little of an amperage difference would be negligible. But anyway, here goes... what say YOU?

From cassp-
Original PA301 states DC output as 4a, your unit lists DC output as 1-3.5a. Will this affect the operation of the keyboard?

From distributor-
Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes,this item output is 2-3.5A and it`s different with your device .it will affect the operation . Thank you very much.

STEVE - let me know how that works out. I'd rather buy from J&R than risk waiting for the wrong part from overseas.

...and that adapter would be available where and at what price???

The Hong Kong adapters claim to be replacements for the 300 series, but the Amperage is a little off. Don't we have a resicednt geek who can tell us what is safe and what isn't?
