Man, these posters are making me nostalgic from when I had a MnM and a MD…

I just have to remember that I sold them for a reason and I didn’t make the biggest mistakes of my life.

It’s 6V AC which is the problem, which means you need an inverter which is usually not a small component and wouldn’t do well in a sealed enclosure because of overheating. Normally you could just step down the power with an adjustable buck converter but you need to convert the power to AC somehow, like the inverter you’d get to plug home appliances into your car.

This is assuming you’re talking about a mkI of course.

6v 3A is weird.
Imma have to hope 5v is enough (don’t think it is), step up 5v, or step down 9v….
