Morning all,
I've just taken delivery of my 2nd beolit however i'm getting fed up with running these on batteries. I don't have a beopower 600 or 1000 and a quick scour of the internet hasn't turned up any for sale on the 'bay or another sites so i'd like to know if people have found any alternatives that work (or, if anyone is willing to part with there's!)?
Cheers!!!
This one has been on and off eBay for a while:

Dave.
You can use any proper regulated DC power supply, 7,5 volts and at least 1 amp and positive on the outside of the plug (contrary to almost all modern products).
I think I paid around 15 euros for mine at Biltema, adjustable voltage. It came with a selection of plugs and reversible polarity. I fixed the correct one with shrink tube. I should also say that it isn't nearly as ugly as that Beopower (which is a badge engineered Mascot, so there isn't that much B&O content in it anyway)
