Re: Crowncorder
Which Crowncorder have you got?
They made several. Although I can't imagine you would need much more than a 1 Amp Supply. If you are able to, why not insert an Ammeter in line with the Batteries, and see what current the Device draws on Batteries. This would give a pretty good idea as to what Adaptor Specification you need. Ian |

Re: Crowncorder
You only need a dc adaptor to run it from a car battery. The mains supply is built in,
you just need a figure-8 mains lead. That's whats on my. CTR300 |

Re: Crowncorder CTR 300
Are you sure it's a CTR 300 and not a CTR 3000 ?
