I recently purchased a Technics portable CD player at a estate sale .the model is SL-XP5 it did not come with the power cord. I was wondering how to find a new power cord to see if it will charge up .seems to be in good condition.looking to either get it running or sell it like it is.
One of my all-time favorite Discmans, but it needs a special adapter with -6V/0V/+6V rails. Next to impossible to find. And that specialized power connector makes it impossible to DIY without major surgery to the player
I was surprised how heavy it was .thanks for the reply I guess I will keep looking to try and find that power supply.
Over the last 3-5 years I saw it only once or twice on eBay, and now there is one for sale: Lucky you! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Supp...h=item1a76be1e71:g:WQEAAOSwSL5ccIW8:rk:2:pf:0 Not the original thing, but someone managed to make that crazy connector, its a miracle!
Jorge I saw that on eBay but it says it’s for the Technics-xp7 mine is the Technics xp-5. It looks like the right connection. Do you think the 7 would be the same as the 5.
They are absolutely the same. Also fits Panasonic SL-NP10 check the table off my hobby-site here SL-XP5 has one of the best DACs ever used in a Discman, and its h/p amp can drive Anything!! And it sounds very-very sweet
