 Thank you very much for taking the time to scan the PS. I called Radio Shack
and they had a PS, but weren't sure if it is the right one. They said that
the problem was the 2 pins that supply power. They don't have a PS with 2
pins as the power. I will bring it to a store so they can take a look at it.

Upon looking at the diagram in the user manual I see that the diagram for the
plug is different. The book says pins 2 and 3 are the ground and pins 5 and 6
are 17vdc.Pin 4 is the shield ground.

Looking at the scan of the PS I just noticed that the model has a "L"in front
of the 128. I wonder if there was a Model L?

The L probably doesn't mean anything. I will bring it to Radio Shack and find
out. Thanks again for the scan, at least I know that it uses 1.8 amps.
