[REQUEST] Searching for a power supply for an animated witch

[xrobwx71]

I may have found a new one on eBay. I searched "Huawei 6v 1000ma" and found this:

It has a 5.5mm tip and looks exactly the same as the one on my power supply. However, I measured the tip at 4.5mm but maybe that's not so accurate and does not matter. I will message the seller to see what they think.

As long as it matches what you have in polarity.

Or is one of those with the tips that allow you to "turn the tip around" and flip the polarity to what you need.

But your basic observation holds: It's got to be the same polarity regardless of exactly how that is achieved.

I've never heard of such a thing. Sounds like a recipe for disaster!

Dirt common. Here's one on Amazon (and there are literally hundreds): https://www.amazon.com/SoulBay-Universal-Reversible-Compatible-Electronics/dp/B087FYRG9K. See the second image associated with the product.

Here's another one on eBay, but that's more sophisticated and that relies on the use of a small polarity reversing cord rather than flipping the tip: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126573910656. See the third image for this one.

I've had a number of these over the years where I could switch polarity just by turning the 2-pin end around. Very handy indeed if you need to change voltages and/or polarities for whatever reason (mostly testing, in my case).

I've accumulated a box of those little power adapters over the years. I've changed to a bigger box twice.

Hahahaha - are you me?
