elantric Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 According to Tronical the 1st generation Robot Black charger box will take : 8V to 24V AC or DC 0.6A (600mA) minimum http://forums.gibson.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=14920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLexxiTronic Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Why would Gibson say that they will only sell a charger to an original owner? Why not anyone? Why not any guitar "part"? That's weird, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieP Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would think that is rather weak support for Gibson Guitars. An owner is an owner regardless of how or when he purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouf Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I agree with all. It is dumb from Gibson NOT to sell the man a charger. I just don't see any reason. The only reason I can see is that they want to discourage theft and reselling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback to the 60s Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I am an original owner of a LP Robot and somehow lost the AC adapter. Below is response received from Tech Support. I found one that matched the specs at a local electronics wholesaler for under $12.00. If you don't have the "middle box" - the one with the red/green light - then that's a whole different problem. Hello, Thanks for writing. Here are the specs for the adapters. Electronic suppliers that sell adapters should be able to get these specs for an adapter for you. Switch Power Supply Input: .5A Output: 12v dc – 1.2A Cable – 2 conductor Plugs – Female = Lumberg NEB 21R Male = Lumberg XNES/J210 Thanks again, William Baugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dairybeat Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi, why don't you get in touch with a Gibson dealer to order a charger for you. A dealer doesn't have to explain to Gibson for whom they are ordering I would think...? Another option is to ask a Gibson Robot 1st owner in your Country or State, through this forum, to order one for you. That person can order one to replace his own so called 'defect' charger, or wants to have a spare one and send it on to you. There has to be trust on both sides to settle this, because there is money involved, but with a bit of good will, this problem can be solved for you. Good luck!
