Title: Mains Adaptor for Roberts Radio
Post by: Old Daffodil on February 11, 2011, 21:22:58 PM: I have a Roberts Radio R9969 and am always having to put batteries in it!
Does anyone know where I would find a DC 6V socket for a mains adaptor? In the book that comes with the radio it mentions this adaptor but I am hopeless with technical electricity stuff and haven't a clue where I would look for one of these!

Problem is generally solved by buying all possibilities: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/17846932/-/Product.html?source=9593&_$ja=tsid:11853%7Cprd:78888

Post by: Supacabby on February 11, 2011, 23:29:27 PM: How much? The 1 I linked was £13.27. The problem with variable voltage chargers/adapters is they get knocked when the man does the dusting (unless the wife volunteers for a change!) then the radio goes boobies up & they are now £94 to replace, know which I'd prefer.

PS: No offence meant to any lady dusters out there, I have a naughty soh!

But now when we go travelling, we don't have to take a separate charger for each of the 2 mobiles, the torches, a shaver, MP3, Tom Tom etc :D

You need to train your man to do the dusting a bit more carefully. ;)

Each to their own.
