Here’s my original request:<\/p>\n

Jan 08 06:33 pm (MST)<\/p>\n

Hi. I have an older CM-3043, but I can’t find the power supply. I have a bunch of universal dc supplies laying around, but I need to know the voltage that this thing wants.<\/p>\n

I’ve looked around for data sheets etc but I can’t find any.<\/p>\n

Can you tell me what voltage the CM-3043 needs, and if it is center-positive or center-negative? Thanks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unlike just about every electronic item that I’ve come across, they don’t have the supply requirements printed on the box, and they don’t have any data sheet or user manual available online.<\/p>\n

This basically means that if I fry the product in the process of trying to get it to work, it’ll end up in a land-fill. Contrast that with this: HBR on Patagonia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
