You CAN'T use a Wall Wart w/that thing. Scandinavian juice is polarised horizontally, while ours is polarised vertically, they're too close to the North Pole. Your best bet is to box it up 'n' send it to me, I'll love it 'n' pet it 'n' call it George...<grin>

Heh heh, it's been a while since I heard that!


To Njord (or anyone), do you have any idea what the 5 pins on the bottom of the radio are for? How about the large jack on the left side panel with the "Y"-type symbol next to it?

I passed on your questions to the Tandberg specialists over at the Norwegian audio forum Alternativaudio, and member Mulelid answered (my translation):

"The 5 pin plug is a DIN plug to attach a deck or a turntable. The port with the "Y" is for attaching an external antenna, for example for automobile use."

EDIT AND CORRECTION: Please see Halols' clarification a few posts down.

All the best,

All the best,

I believe Mulelid misunderstood the question. The DIN plug is on the side of the radio.
The 5 pins on the bottom is the interface between the radio and the car-mount cassette.

You see, you could buy a mounting cassette that you attached under the dashboard in your car. Then you just plugged the radio into the cassette.
At least two of the poles are for the loudspeaker. And I am quite ceartain two are for 12V power.
