Power Adapter For Eliptical Trainer

[111tingtong]

Hi Everyone,

Wasn't sure where to post this so will try in here first. I have an Elliptical Trainer, Model Spirit XE330. Unfortunately when I moved to Chiang Mai the power adapter got lost. All I can find through google is resellers and cannot for the life of me find where it was manufactured. I went out and bought a multi adapter switchable to 9vdc and rated for 1amp (in photos). According to the sticker at the side of the power point this is whats required. Unfortunately it was a no go. The display was dimly lit, but that was about it. Appeared it wasn't getting enough current. Im a bit concerned of blowing the electronics up with the wrong adapter.

Has anyone got any idea where I can get a suitable replacement or some advice on the correct multi charger. Need to get on it quickly to shed the extra inches gained around the waist over Christmas/New year.

Happy New Year to everyone on TV

Cheers

TT

Did you have the correct polarity for the 9VDC, 1A adapter as indicated on the trainer input info? Was the 9 VDC plug a good, snug fit?

Yes correct polarity and a snug fit, and your correct to point this out as its a mistake easily made with the interchangeable tips. I think these cheap multi adapters don't supply the current indicated on their spec labels.

I've since found and contacted this gym equipment dealer in Chiang Mai http://gymtech.tarad.com who are going to order the correct adapter from Bangkok for 500 baht.

Thanks for your input though, good observation.
