I need a power adaptor for it but can't find it anywhere, mainly because I don't know what to type to search for it. It's for an old numark mixer.
Identify This Mixer Cable Please

Ooooh I'm sure I've seen them on one of my old tape decks - audio in/out? Philips had a similar one but with connectors going round at different angle. I may even have one (I keep everything 
). Give me a couple of days and I'll check. Don't remember it being ac in though.

Oh that'd be great thanks! The only place I've found it is in America but at this price I might as well buy a new mixer.Ooooh I'm sure I've seen them on one of my old tape decks - audio in/out?

That's a 2 pin plug at the other end because it's American. It's the whole power adaptor I need.

perhaps let us know the precise numark mixer model and it should show up in an old manual, usually online

This might do it but you’d need to know the pin connections to be ceertain.
I searched for 5 pin din power supply 9v

i searched the same but cant find anything that matches the pic in the OP

Yeah, think you’re right.

Do you have the old one Doctor Carrot ?

So you have a faulty power supply ?
There may be a thermal fuse inside that has failed with age ?
That's a very unusual power supply by modern standards.
Two oddly close AC voltages so a bespoke 50HZ transformer.

no its not broken he has lost the cable and needs to buy a new one but doesnt know what to look for to find it

Well that's a standard 180 degree 5 pin DIN but you would need to be careful how it's wired by looking inside the PSU and the mixer.
And perhaps thicker wire than usual.

On the other hand it would have been VERY stupid to use a common audio plug and then wire the cable in a non-standard way.

I'm actually asking for a mate so I'll get more info on the make of the mixer and get back to you. He's lost the power supply and has only been able to find that one in America so far.

that's what I thought from the thread title but first line of OP says DC needs a power adapter.

Actually scrub all I've said, I think that might be a non-standard DIN plug - not actually 180 degrees ...

Yeah, my first thought was the 4 pin I posted would fit, just with no centre pin. As you say, looks like the angle is wrong

it says 8v and 9v AC
I imagine some clever stuff to eliminate earth loops or something.
It will be a custom-wound mains transformer.

hopefully not gimboid
e2a: scrap that, found it on that link you posted
ea2a: more googling suggest that that american website is the only one holding it as it's a discontinued product, and that is a 120V supply only, 230V version is this one:

ohh right so it does
I bet a 12v ac like you use for routers etc would probably work and maybe not blow it up.

maybe being the important word in there:
any piece of electrical equipment operated wrongly can be a smoke machine
I put 21v in a 19v input for a top end vaio laptop once and there it died
I wouldn't do it for a laptop, too delicate. I'd probably risk an old mixer tho they're a lot more sturdy. but not recommending it.
anyway, there is still no plug that would fit so you cant do it, and it's not worth fitting a new socket just so you can connect a power supply that isn't exactly right.

going deaf for a living
This is why every piece of kit ever should have internal power supplies with a standard IEC power cable.

i know nothing about electricity but isnt 8v not very powerful for a piece of kit like this? its less than a 9v battery?
If it's just filled with circuit boards and whatnot it isn't going to need a lot of horsepower.
