Chargemaster lite power supply

[GcG166]

I lost the power supply to my chargemaster lite. Cant find one that will work with it (12v 0.15A written on it) has anyone ever gotten a replacement one?

call RCBS

Amperage is meaningless. Anything that puts out 0.15A or more will work but the voltage of 12-13.5VDC MUST be stable DC current with proper polarity observed. Having the correct plug on it would be a good thing. A car battery, walwort, or ultra expensive lab power supply will work. I'll bet dimes to dollars that you have probably tossed out several walworts that would have worked over the years. Check out Walmart or Amazon or your local electronics store. Get in touch with RCBS.

No guarantees but something like this should work:

or better yet, maybe this:

This first one would be better.

The polarity should be written on the machine. It's a symbol tho. A couple circles inside each other. Might have a + pointing to the inner circle, and a - pointing to the outer. If so, that would match the first adaptor.

Most actually. A lot of 12v wall wort adapters have gotten pretty standard over the years. YOu might already have one that could work if you look at the rating on other things you might have around.

I couldn't find the polarity on the machine. Just 12v a solid line over a dashed line then 0.15a

Have a Value Village nearby? There's usually a wall full of charger cords for a couple bucks each. Should be easy to find something that works.

I suspect you have some $$$ tied up in your dispenser.
My thought is give rcbs a call and get exactly what you need;
as opposed to getting something you hope will work, when you plug it in,
and not damage your unit.

A bit late to this thread, but if you are still having problems sourcing a power adapter, you can use a car battery

Emailed rcbs and they sent one!
