Repair options for Placette passive linestage?

Just learned the sad news that Guy Hammel the erstwhile founder/owner of Placette Audio passed away. Any thoughts on repair options for what has otherwise been a flawless performer for the last eight years?

Specifically, my Placette audio passive linestage isn't transmitting a signal to my amps, and was only quasi responsive to inputs from the remote or the manual volume toggle (amber light was intermittent and I’d hear a few clicks before even those would shut down). Since then, the unit seems completely dead (no lights or reaction to remote or toggle inputs whatsoever). Seems like a power supply issue to me.

Appreciate the referrals, but both options are configured with barrel connectors. The issue I’m running into is finding a power adapter with the 5V, 1.2A, 6W spec that has an 8 pin DIN output connector.

Also, while Placette’s website is still up and running, they are NOT operational (Guy’s widow confirmed as much to me), so I caution anybody against hitting the Buy button on any products.

        I see!

        But, as I mentioned, "Any competent Tech should be able to convert the plug."

     Rewiring your old DC power supply's DIN connector, especially while having all applicable components in hand, isn't Rocket Science.
