Very strange that you only get a hum.

If nothing else works, I'd highly recommend trying the GodLyke 
powersupply -- it rocks for 9V stuff.

I'm pretty sure you can get them at First Flight Music at 174 First 
Avenue at about 10th St.  (call first -- sorry there's no # on their 
web site!) and I'll bet they'd open the package and let you try it 
out to make sure.

If they don't have it, surely Sam Ash on 48 St. would.

It's about $40 but it will power every 9V gadget you have, plus Line 
6 gizmos, from one plug, on 110V and 220V.

Let us know how it went.
