Got a Microcab and need an adapter.  I see it's 16v, does anyone know what type of tip it needs?

I could be wrong, but I think it's a "N" type barrel plug.

MJMP would know for sure.

You need a 5.5 x 2.5mm 16Vac (NOT DC!!)

That's not exactly easy to find these days.   Everything is DC conversion

Found a Nortel T41160500A010G on Amazon.  Luckily it's Prime delivery, so if it's wrong I can return it.

The ebay listing for it says it's 5.5x2.5mm and it's a 16vac output and 500ma, so it should be perfect.   :metal:

Hey it appears your site is down, but did I read you mod the Microcab 1 to Microcab 2 specs or something similar?
