Turbo Express AC Adapter replacements!

[HoocasLenkels]

Hello folks.

I'm new here to the forums, so pardon my ignorance if this is old news. (sorry for the sideways pics. My ipad refuses to post the friggin pictures correctly for some stupid reason! 

I was at work the other day, and happened upon a box of random ACAs. Inside was this little guy (pictured.) I read the output, and checked the tip, and had lightning strike. I rescued it from being tossed, and took it home. Low and behold, it works! The output is 7.5V 1a, which is the same as the TE/PCGT AC adapters. Works like a charm, and I couldn't be happier.

Anyway, thought I'd let you all know. Google search "NetGear yp-040" and you'll find them in abundance online for around $10-$20 USD. Not bad if I say so myself. Here's a picture of it working as well. Don't mind the "Turbo Express" etched hastily into it, it's just so I remember what it's for haha!

I hope this helps out some of you looking for a cheap ACA for your Turbo Express!

Sweet!  Thank you for this.  I've been looking online and the price is up in the $30-$40 for the "official" version.  This will do nicely.

Ha! That's nice.

Damn I can one off the 'Bay for a fiver, but shipping is $20+ dollars.  Stupid, but still cheaper than the branded version.  I'll look around work.  We must have some here.
