Original ones go for about £30 in England, but someone said that you can use an alternative from another console.
Was it Genesis or Jaguar?
Anyway, if someone can confirm which one it is, it would be a lot cheaper than finding an original!

BTW, why is it they always need replacing? Are they really badly made?

The Genesis (first version) power adaptor is compatible with the Neo, and is much cheaper and easy to get. I use one for my AES for months now and never had any problems.

There's a capacitor in the AES p/s right behind the transformer which seems to be a little unstable. Mine died two times, don't know wether this is a general problem or not. I have an Euro p/s with a select switch for the input voltage (110/220V), perhaps the original 110V one is more sturdy.
