I bought an alien alr 9800 for its low price, but I don't have the charger for it, any other way to power this equipment please help, or where I can get the right charger.

Thanks

The Alien ALR-9800/9900 require a power supply that provides multiple voltages as per the picture. The problem is the -ve voltage on pin 5, otherwise you'd be able to whip up one for a couple dollars.. So you're generally SOL, which is why they're so cheap as they require the expensive power supply... According to my email that came up when I was looking things up for this reply, I recycled my 9800 reader in 2020, but still have a couple 9900's lol... They use the same supply, but allow you to load applications into the reader so I wrote a ipico wedge for them so that it can talk directly to finishlynx. FYI I was able to buy a supply in 2018 (the last time I tried) from pc-canada.com, and they still list the part. They don't generally stock oddball things, but you could try checking with them if their suppliers have stock.

Thank you very much

can you send me a picture of the power supply specifications?

It would help me a lot and I could get something to help me because I can't get anywhere with that charger.
