Hi there - rooting through an old box of leads I found a Korg power supply. I don't know where it came from and I'm wondering whether it can be used for my MS2000. Here are the details from the back of the unit:

KORG AC ADAPTER KA186
Model:T41-9-600D-3
PRI: 230V ~ 50HZ 60mA
SEC: 9V = 600mA

I've Googled the KA186 and it seems to be compatible with the MicroKorg but there is no mention of the MS2000.

Any ideas?

Important to check is that the polarity of the connector between the supply and the board matches.
Furthermore the manual of the MS2k indicates 9V - 8W. Considering that the polarity is ok, the KA186 is too short in current as it delivers only 600 mA and 8W corresponds to 900mA.

I would search for a heavier supply unless someone else proves it is ok.
