iOptron MiniTower Power Supply Spec new
      #3433382 - 11/06/09 05:43 PM

Does anyone know if you can use a Radio Shack AC adapter for a Minitower. I have one and can set it for various volts, amps, and grounds; but dont know the specs for the MiniTower.

The Mini Tower comes with a 1.25 amp 12 VDC center positive AC power supply as well as a 12 VDC cigarette plug power supply. Why do you want to use the RS one?

Because I have multiple mounts, cameras, laptops, and other toys that all require some type of power; if I am able to get an AC/DC converter to multi-task I can reduce the amount of stuff I have to pack for trips to dark sites or outreach.
