I have two items which require DC input but are lacking a power supply.
(1) Apple iBook A1005 Abandoned by previous users but tempting because it is a Mac. Requires 24v DC 1.875A max. Polarity is a straight line over a dotted line. Genuine Apple replacement PS is over £50 China special via Amazon is over £20 and slagged off in all reviews.
(2) Panasonic HDC-SD60 video camera. I have a battery charger and spare battery but can't find the original (laptop style) power supply. Requires 5V DC in, positive on central pin. Need a power supply to allow video rendering via the USB connection to use the chip in the camera instead of just CPU on the computer. Note that just downgrading 2 hours of HD video to SD onto a DVD takes 5.5 hours using a reasonable spec. dual processor. I can't find anything via Google as a replacement - does nobody else lose these things?
Anyway, is there a reasonably priced reliable power supply which comes complete with a variety of different sized plugs and which could supply both these requirements?
240V or 12V (cigar lighter) both acceptable.I remeber cheapo power bricks a few years back with a selection of different output voltages (not that I remember them going as high as 24V) but they were cheapo and probably not a good investment for connecting to valuable items.
