Hey guys im not the best with electronics to be sure not to make something my self. I made a little short wave radio when I was younger so I understand a little and know how to solder things together. I want to hook my Desert fox up at my house to just plug into the wall. Them make a 40$ adapter which i think is to expensive. If any of you can look at this and give me a cheap easy solution to build or use something else with out blowing the thing up. here is the expensive adapter they sell http://www.blackcatmining.com/mining-equip...wer-adapter.cfm And I can not find another one like it besides maybe a lap top charger if thats all I need to use I would like to know what to look for if all I need to worry about is the 3.33 amps or some type of conversion please help. Thank You guys and thank you Bill for the Desert Fox.

Hi Miles,
If you currently own an automotive battery charger, you should be able to use it for this purpose. It should convert the power for your Fox no problem. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

thats what I thought but it confused me that they sell a battery charger also and it was weird to e that they would sell two different products that can do the same thing. Thank you for your help! Bill had good things to say about you and im glad I have joined the group I plan to join you guys when I get the money to pay for a membership. I figure I need to get my sluice and all that first and im very limited on money with a wife and a kid and both of us being in school. So its just saving a little here and there and justifying it toward a hobby I love haha
