In the longer term I'll have a look around for similar adaptors and see if I can find something suitable lying around or buy one.
The details are:
Pri: 100-240v ac, 50-60hz, 7.5w.
Sec: 13v, 400ma.
I can't see anything on the adaptor regarding the polarity of the tip so do I assume it doesn't matter?
Replacement Philips epilators of this quality aren't cheap so even buying a new adaptor might be justified. |
Bold shows that this is an electronic unit. Normally the inner or pin is positive. I guess if the epilator is just a motor it would run backwards with the wrong polarity. Then the discs might not grab the hairs?
If it has an internal battery to run cord free then the polarity is important. Get Googling, possibly images, the model number. Aught to bring up the info you need.
A 12v supply with more than 400ma rating would probably work OK.
