Question - any help appreciated

I have a component that takes a wall wart. I've lost the wall wart. I'm trying to figure out what will happen if I try a replacement that is DC when the unit may require AC.

The back of the component says "9V - AC" next to the input hole. It also says 1 amp, 5 watts.

I am finding many wall warts with these specs, but they are ALL converting AC to DC. If I try one that provides DC, and my unit wants AC, will it hurt the unit?

Thanks for any help-
Hukk

How would you determine the polarity if an AC voltage? - Tweekeng 16:09:27 08/27/07 (0)
