    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?

    This will be the key

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

    If you can solder
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AC-100V-2...item3368880fa5
    and add your own tip http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp...m&form=KEYWORD

    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/refere...lated-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).
