9v battery clip power adapter?

[Al Heeley]

I'm looking for a couple of these, drew a blank on ebay and Maplins don't have them:

To power a vintage pedal from 9v dc mains adapter without having to fit a jack socket.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I used to do those. I might have one somewhere which you can have. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Thats very kind of you, many thanks! Preferably looking for a female end if possible but if you only have a male I'll be happy to reimburse you.

thanks for the link but diago really irritate me with their ridiculously over-inflated prices for stuff, really it is taking the mick, charging £6 for a bit of wire and a battery clip, and the pedal boards at extortionate prices are a rip off, sorry already ranted on another post about this, I would go to great lengths to never have to buy anyting from diago. They need a big reality check.

I've made them from Maplin's bits. Not a toughie. Bit thin wire though, but on a board, durability is less of an issue.

They're like Diago but not stupidly expensive!

Until you add the postage costs.

I think it was 2 or 3 quid last time i ordered from them, not too extortionate compared to some places. I got 2 EHX adapters and a reverse polarity adapter for around £15 posted

Interesting. They ramp up their postage up by the item which really bears no relation to the actual cost of postage. FYI I've been doing EH Boss socket to jack adaptors and plug to jack adaptors for about 6 years now. £4.50 each to BCers plus £1 postage for up to 6 cables.

Postage stayed the same when i ordered from them, dunno if they still do that. I work in mail order and know exactly what delivery costs so i hate it when companies charge a fortune for postage, as a rule if they're making sneaky profits from postage then i buy elsewhere

I recently bought a daisy chain dc power from them, thought prices were fine, but even though I looked on their site I did not come across the PP3 battery adapters. Now obbm has been a great chap and posted me out a couple, for which i am very grateful

good marks to obbm for that - but in the long run it's really worth teaching yourself ( I mean anyone of course ) how to put stuff like this together yourself. For one thing it means you can get what you want at short notice.

i'd still have to have ordered a female dc jack socket and a battery clip!
