Zenith Transoceanic 3000-1 Wall Wart
Anyone know the specs for the wall wart used to power this radio? I know that its 12V DC, but don't know the amps. Anyone know?
Thanks |

You're probably aware that the submini jack and plug are of 'backwards' polarity, ie., the shell is positive and the center pin is negative. A little heads-up if you're using batteries.. on my radio, the battery feed-through socket had developed leakage paths between lugs and between lugs and chassis. With batteries installed, there was 200 microamps of leakage with the radio off, which woulda drained the pack in a few weeks. Another 3000-1 owner also mentioned having a leakage problem in the feed-through socket that drained the batteries. Bill(oc) |

Thanks much for the timely information. I Was just getting ready to wire up a 12V WW and give it a try. I was aware of the pin polarity, but didn't think about the effects of loading on voltage. I will take your advise and use a 9V one. The radio is a bit rough and doesn't have a battery box. I want to power it up with a WW to see if it works before I consider doing anything else with it.
