In researching, trying to find a replacement, which I guess just isn't possible, I've read that it's fairly common for these adapters to be fried, something about unplugging them while the unit is on or something. Anyway, I'll either use it with batteries or continue to use the K&K belt pack preamp. Interesting that the K&K only uses one 9 volt battery and it, too, supplies phantom for the mic.
The PMB runs on 18v rails. 9v is used for the phantom powering.

There are numerous 18vDC 300mA power supplies currently for sale:

Just make sure you get one with the proper + and - wiring to its output jack.
