Stylewriter power adapter

[Michael L Kankiewicz]

I am trying to resurrect an original StyleWriter for use with an SE/30.
Do I need the original power adapter, or will any of the later StyleWriter
power blocks work? Thanks much.

If I recall right, the PSU for the original StyleWriter (StyleWriter I)
and the later and better StyleWriter II are the same voltage and watt use.

Just note that you select the right voltage settings. They /are not/
automatically switched on these two models, so you either must set it to
'100v-130v/60hz' or '200v-240v/50hz'. - OR - if a European PSU - be
rather careful to switch to the correct individual voltage setting
100v/60hz, 115v/50hz, 130v/60hz, 200v/50hz, 220v/50hz or 240v/50-60hz. -
You can turn the switch to the correct setting by using a coin. This is
for both the SW I and SW II sold in Europe.

Else you can find all the specs at www.macfixit.com - including the
individually pin-settings in the DIN connector or the later models with
the single-pin connector.

If you have the original PSU - but it's defective, - you can read the
informaton on the label - or even better - take the orig. PSU with you
and go to the nearest low-price electronics store and buy a similar PSU
- asuring that the cord to the printer is the same type and then
exchange the plug with the correct one for your SW model. NOTE: Voltage
and mAh and pin settings _MUST_ be the same as the original.

Cheers, Erik Richard

Wow! That brings back forgotten memories without nostalgia. I do not
know if it was the practice then, but almost all new equipment these
days will have power and voltage requirements molded into the plastic
near the power jack. Sometimes it is a bit hard to see because of low
contrast. If that is case, any power supply, including those with
changeable settings with a plug will work. Don't forget to set the
polarity correctly.

I actually have that old adapter lying around. It outputs 9.5V @ 1.5A,
so anything you have that does the same *should* be OK.
