You should be able to get a replacement one at the likes of Dick Smiths, as long as you know the voltage requirements then an after market one will work fine.

I say Dick Smiths as Im assuming you're in Australia?

Tip positive, they come with multiple plugs that you change over

If you can solder

Note though these technically don't pass Australian Standards as they don't have the black insulating ring on the input power pins. http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/insulated-pins.htm Having said that I am getting a couple in to test to see if they are any good, but somehow I think I will be sticking with the usual ones I get from another source (supplier's for Jaycar).
