Description
This sale is for one original Drake 9 VDC adapter that was provided with the Drake SW8 radio receiver at the time of purchase. Locating an original Drake badged 9 VDC adapter is nearly impossible. We do sell similar generic replacement adapters for a lower price in our Ebay store, but they lack the Drake name. If you want an adapter with the Drake name, it will be very challenging to locate this elsewhere.Locating an adapter that supplies both 9 VDC at one amp current is very difficult. The Drake SW8 was the prototype for the later Satellit 800 and then even later with the Eton E1XM radios and so the adapter will also work on those units, but adapters supplied with those units did not carry the Drake name badge. All 3 of these receivers utilize a 9 VDC adapter with a fairly high amperage of 1 amp.
The typical replacement adapters advertised and sold here on Ebay are manufactured in China, are inexpensive, and are the switching variety that create an enormous amount of static interference when used with the radio. In short, these switching adapters are garbage and they should not be permitted for sale. However, Ebay allows them to be sold and people purchase them without knowing that they are very bad and are not intended to be used for radio reception. In fact, if you use one of them with your radio, you will find that most signals will be blocked by the overwhelming amount of RF noise rendering your radio virtually useless.
That is why having an original adapter is important to fully appreciate and enjoy your radio.
Please note that the adapter that we are offering is used and may have very minor signs of prior ownership. The adapter picture is representative of what you will receive, and while it may vary very slightly appearance somewhat from the picture, we guarantee that you will be happy with what arrives in the mail and that it will properly work with your radio.
Feel free to email if you have any questions.
