Wow - a Tek 570! You're a lucky chap to have one of these in the first
place. Consider the statistics - I've heard it said that ony 2000 of
these
units were originally made. Lets assume that 10% of these haven't ended
up
in the crusher in the last 50 years - that means that there are only 200
(or
fewer) left in the world.
Now what is the chance of being able to find a spare adaptor?
It is a bit like finding an original spare for a C-type or D-type Jaguar,
when only 54 of each were ever manufactured. Or an XKSS, of which only 6
were made before Jag's factory burned down in a fire in 1957. Not
dissimilar rarity, or vintage, to the 570.
