Rockman Amp removing power adapter

[Jazzer2020]

This is the original Rockman Amp!!!

I have the power adapter snapped onto the unit.
It attaches where there batteries would go.
I have no clue on how to remove it now.

Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to break anything.

Just figured it out! 

Any buyers?
I'm selling the original.

Not really. I have a very old Schotz 100X, but by that time they put in a side mount jack to plug in the power supply. I have actually never put batteries in min. I guess it open with a coin or something. I heard they were hell and ate batteries like no tomorrow.

I don't have the box for mine, but it's in killer shape, with maybe some fine scratches in it a best. Headphones are in good shape and the foam hasn't gone to hell in the 30 years I have had it. I took the belt clip off when I first got it. It might be at my dads house. 

Yours has the power supply that goes where the batteries go. I do remember that.

It's looks like it has a spring clip that locks it in the battery compartment.

This is the power supply I have that mounts on the side of the unit.

 

 

There are 3 screws that hold it together. I wouldn't take them out completely, just loosen them a bit and see if you can get the adaptor loosens out out. It might work.

I also found a wed site that you might be interested in.

Personally I think they sound like crap. but it was my original practice amp when people were sleeping amp.

The switches on mine really chuck when you move then to another position.

Mine was probably 200 bucks new, which was a lot of coin in the day.

Folks are selling them for $500 and up on reverb and ebay.

Don't mess up the poser supply either, they sell for over 100 bucks on reverb

Mine was always stored in a zip lock bag, which kept it clean and pretty new looking.

I hope this is some help.

Thanks Mikeo.

I guess you missed my Edit-Update to my original post.

Shortly after I posted I figured out how to remove the power adapter that was plugged into the unit.
My clue came when I found the cover for the battery section.

It was a crude design. You need to wedge something in between the power adapter and the case
to pop out the power adapter! 

Yes times have changed since this 'cutting edge' piece of hardware was invented.
I have the original unit, the one before the X100.
