Don't buy the adapter from Universal. Get an old Sony adapter. I bought the suggested one at Universal and it created noise. I found a website that says to use a Sony AC-E455A. It is 4.5 volts, but ACTUALLY puts out 6 volts. My neighbor had an old AC-E455D (same specs) and it works PERFECTLY with no added noise. Both abundant on eBay.

Yes Amazon has some fine ac/dc transformers,but according to some reviews the one with the less inteference wasn't available from Sony anymore,so I bought mine offsite at universal radio.The cheaper ones act as an antenna for interference(to be honest all do)but the one I have seems ok,it was a little pricey and shipping fees also.Rechargingable batteries will work also,but to me they're a pain also.Good Luck and Happy Listening its a great radio

From the Sony manual : " Use a commercially available AC power adapter (rated output voltage/current: 6 v DC / 700 ma ). " Amazon sells at least one that will work with the Sony. Look up "Universal DC adapter power supply" in the Amazon search engine. You need a unit to put out 6 volts and a minimum of 700 milliamps of current. The center pinon the adapter plug is positive + ( most are ). The Velleman Compact Universal DC adapter power supply from Amazon looks like a good choice, and has excellent reviews. Good hunting !

I not recommend using ac-dc converters unless you have noise suppression circuits. The radio sensitivity is one of the best I've found (I have Grundig and JVC) and power line noise interferes with the weak signals in some cases. Best charging batteries apart and use on your radio. This recommendation should be followed with all sensitive equipment.

The Sony 6 volt AC power adaptor AC-E60HG is a recommended unit for the radio. It is large in size, but well filtered and produces less radio hum. Radio shack had a 6 volt AC adapter CAT. NO. 273-1761 that works with the radio, and they allow you to select the special sized plug that fits the Radio. However, the Radio Shack adaptor is not as well filtered as the Sony adaptor and it generates noticable radio hum.

When we purchased ours it came with an AC power adapter. I know Radio Shack carries adapters that have variable voltage, perhaps they or a store similar to them could help you in selecting one.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

Mine came with the AC adapter. It comes with it. It uses also, six C batteries,a option, instead of the adapter, get some if it might not have the adapter.

No ac adapter. Sucks because eats the batteries in no time. So rechargeable batteries is the way to go with this.

There is a port for an AC adapter. Mine did not come with one. Radio Shack should be able match one if you bring it with you to the store. The polarity has to be correct.

Hello.There is no AC adaptor. The device requires 2 AA batts. It has brought me huge peace of mind. I highly recommend this.Getting Mom to use it, is a whole other issue. :) Good Luck!

It is an international AC adapter. You will have to contact Amazon to get your money refunded to purchase this item from a different seller that includes an AC adapter suitable for use in the United States. Happened to me, too!

My order did not come with an AC adapter. I would shop for something better! I ended up throwing it in the Goodwill bin because it is not even worth using as a reading light.

Yes it comes with an AC adaptor but you won't need it other than to charge as it has a battery

Mine did NOT come with the DC adapter, which is the whole reason I bought it. Returning to Amazon. False advertising.

This seller does not provide the pouch for the AC adaptor. This is why you might notice that it's a bit cheaper than other seller's. You would have to purchase the pouch separately.

Both of my orders included AC Adapters. However, please do double check with your vendor ensuring the AC Adapter is indeed included with your order.
