Title: JHS Rockbox RBX-2
Post by: Yazoo on May 13, 2022, 04:09:10 PM
Does anybody know what DC power the Rockbox expects into the DC socket please? It is very similar to the Rockman X100 and uses 8 AA batteries to provide +6V/-6V but also has a separate power socket.

I can't find an original manual online. If you know where one is available I would be grateful.

>+and -6V symetric power supply with a 3.5mm stereo jack, or you can use it with 8 1.5V AA batteries.<

There are some folk on this group that sell new power supplies for Rockman X100

Thanks, I've joined the group. Does the power jack socket use an odd size jack? I tried a standard size one, approx. 14mm long shaft, but is too big.
