PSU for joggler

[johnnygal]

I have been searching around for a supplier of Joggler/Openpeak PSUs (or ones that are at least the same spec) and am struggling to find any. I found some Openpeak PSUs on a USA site but they were only 115ac input voltage and I don't think they deliver outside US anyway.

Does anyone know where they can be obtained?

Thanks.

I still have yet to find any for my job lot of three faulty. If there's enough need, perhaps a group buy will get us a good price.

[johnnygal]

yep. Good point. Will keep on looking.

I have 5 PSU's here that I'll never use for anything.

I could trade the 5 PSU's for one working or needing work Joggler without a PSU or donate them to the forum and let Buzz sell them to Joggler folks maybe eh?

Here are some that I've found so far.... compatible, I think, but not original. 5.5mm x 2.1mm connector, by my measurements.

Farnell charge a handling fee of £6.99 per order, I think instead of P&P
£11.60 each for 3+ units - http://cpc.farnell.com/powerpax/pa-1030 ... dp/PW02596
£11.72 - http://cpc.farnell.com/powerpax/ptd-054 ... dp/PW02773

I've also put in a support request with O2.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of mains power adaptors for LED lighting that are 5V 4A - probably OK for the DIY minded.

Good spot Mevi, look fine to me. They even have noise suppressors on them, which I had to add to one of mine once.

Five units and over would have no handling charge.
Anybody fancy a bulk order? Not sure what the demand is on forum. I could do with 2 or 3.

Someone posted on the '3 Jogglers' thread that they're using the psu from the first link. Reassuring.

I need three of them. There's no more reduction in price than above and I wonder if it's really worth them being delivered to one address only to be posted out to everyone else. Seems a bit of a kerfuffle.

[johnnygal]

Yep, thanks for those links Mevi.

That PSU from the first link looks more compact that the second and good to hear that someone is already using one.

I agree, by the time someone has reposted them out from a group buy, I don't think there would be much cost-saving.

I'm going to order 3 of the first item I linked. They deliver next day, so I'll order for a friday or monday delivery when I know I'll be home all day. They've been known to work for the member david_f1976, but I'll also post my findings.

[johnnygal]

Thanks for that.

Hi Mevi,

Have you got the new PSUs yet? If so, are they working ok?

Thanks.

[Mevi]

I keep forgetting to buy them! I'll see if I can get them for Wednesday.

EDIT: Just bought them now.

[Mevi]

Three of the farnell psus arrived today and they work just fine. Added bonus of being useable on the continent, should you feel like taking your Joggler on holiday with you. Cable is about 1m long, shorter than the original one, but ok for desktop height.

That's great. Thanks for letting us know.
