Duo 220v question

I've just received my PCE Duo and have a power adapter question. My white PCE uses a simple AC/DC mains adapter stepdown (actually the same one I use for my router) but the Duo's power port has a wider central shaft and it won't fit. I bought a typical domestic one and tried it but none of the attachable heads will fit.

So, my question is: where should I go to get a power adapter for the Duo?

It came with the original Japanese 110v adapter so if I could get a travel plug that also included a stepdown (do such things exist?) I suppose that would work.

Any ideas?

You can use a Mega Drive II adapter from any region in case you can't find anything else.

That's sounds too hard to get.

What about these?

Ireland uses the same massive plugs as the UK.

That's far too high tech for this. Get something cheaper.

Such as? Is there something I'd be likely to find at the local electronics store? http://www.peats.com

Perhaps this?:

Has anyone else had problems with the Duo's rather chunky power port?
