need charger for Sony MZ-RH1

[roofrabbit]

I have a Sony minidisc recorder MZ-RH1. I need a charger for the recorder -- the one that connects to the 120 v. AC power line. Is there a place to buy same? In searching, it seems that Sony has abandoned the minidisc format, including accessories.

I am uncertain whether any USB cable can charge to unit, or a special cable is needed. Some of my USB cables seem to charge from the USB port of my computer, some do not.

Standard A/B USB cable , and some of the Wall wart USB adapters for cell phones work ok as long as the Amperage out is at least 1 amp , Some will work some wont , Willco works pretty good ,I have 3 of them , but my Filco USB block for my 4.4 amp USB out battery pack works great ,I bought one of the Filco Battery block (Lithium Ion ) shirt pocket battery ,and it works very well , and at the price , it is less than the Sony adapter will be , plus you will have extra power to spare .

I managed to charge my RH1 using a powered USB hub and a regular USB cable. Inexpensive. Easy. Works.

The travel charger for Motorola's RAZR phones works well and is compact.
