Don't recall any question about AC versus DC.  I know the instructions suggest DC. I posted earlier about this and have pasted my ques. in blue below.  See here for more discussion if interested.<a href="/TRCCS/forums/t/205819.aspx"> http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/205819.aspx</a> I like to use switching power supplies wherever possible because I know they put out exactly the power stated and they are just a couple bucks more.  My 12 VDC - 16 VDC Class II power supplies that were on hand, actually all made 18+VDC available if the unit ever got stuck...that is a little too close to the max suggested. So here is a paste from that post above.  I went with the15 VDC 1.3 amp and put a fast .5 amp fuse in line.  From the amount I have used the turntable, I don't think there is much danger of it halting and pulling too much current anyway. The Walthers Cornerstone turntable calls for optimum of 16 VDC 500 mA.  Will take 12V to not more than 18 V and will run on AC voltage supplies. My electronics supplier has these close choices in switching power supplies (those are the units that put out the actual voltage they state): 1. 15 VDC 1.3 amp (1300 mA) 2. 18 VDC 1.1 amp 3. 12 VDC .6 amp 4. 12 VDC 1.2 or 1.6 amp Which is the best choice?
