I like my tech toys, but can't put stuff together..

I received my Stoker system today, but there was no AC adapter to plug it in...

It says on the back 5 Volts 2 Amps near power cord plug in... is this a cord that is normally pretty standard that I could go to Radio shack and purchase?

Thanks!

    I would contact the vendor but I'm sure you want to get cookin'

    Radio Shack sells a universal adapter with multiple plugs and voltage ranges.  You need to be aware of the polarity of the plug you are using.  I am assuming it is a small round plug like most external power supplies.  There should be a small diagram next to plug that show whether the center is positive or negative.  One other thing to be aware of is the amperage rating.  Yours says 2 amps so you will need a beefy universal adapter that is rated at 2 amps (or more).

    5 volts if very common.  I have a huge drawer of old power supplies and wall-worts I use based on voltage and current.  Also, an old computer power supply puts out lots of 5 volt DC current.   Using a larger current supply is fine, but don't go smaller.  However, the Stoker is designed to run several fans - you probably can get away with a 200 mA for the electronics and whatever the fan is rated at - probably 500 mA for 10 cfm - just guessing, but it will say on the fan.

    Yeah, contact them and they'll send you one.  But in a pinch.....
