Which Power Jack/Plug for Squeezeboxes?
« on: 29 Mar 2010, 03:18 am »
Hi Everyone,

I've dug up a couple of linear power supplies I'd like to modify to work with a Squeezebox Receiver (9v) and a Squeezebox Classic (5v). 

I'm hoping someone can point me to a source for the proper power plug as their seem to be dozens, some differing in size by <1/2 a mm!  The Receiver and Classic use different sized jacks, so I'm after two recommendations.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Bob

GBB, thanks very much, that's a big help and I sure appreciate it.

I'm off to go shop around, but if anyone happens to know of an online supplier for these, that would be great.

Thanks again.
