Ok Chris or anybody. What the heck are these and for what purpose? I've never seen these.

Hooking several Rockman amps in series perhaps?
WTF! Rockadapter?

Re: WTF! Rockadapter?
Oh... that's an easy one!
These are for when you want to plug your Rockadaptor adapter (that requires a 6 volt +/- side adapter - NOT INCLUDED HERE!) into either the 1/4" GUITAR INPUT or low level OUTPUT of your original ROCKMAN, X100, BASS ROCKMAN, or SOLOIST headphone amplifier. I have no idea why you would want to do that - it would have no conceivable function - but to each his own!
Or maybe you just want to dangle a Rockadaptor adapter from the input jack of your guitar? Or your amplifier? Or the mixing board?
Or, of course, you could be a GIANT and have a really big X100 (an X1000?!?) that requires a 1/4" power cable plug? Although the transformer (NOT INCLUDED HERE) would be huge so that's probably not it...

Man, that's weird.
That is a pretty good deal for three rock adaptors, if they actually were original.

No doubt. I would buy them just for the Rockadaptor parts but the almost $60 shipped price is too steep.Fireful0 wrote:Man, that's weird.

I sent the seller a request for an inside picture of one of them and also asked him what the heck is their purpose. I guess the headphone end must plug into some sort of +, - 6 volt power supply because I doubt that circuitry for that is still inside the Rockadaptor, especially since the led's are missing. We'll see what he says.

Rockman jewelry?!?
If they don't have LEDs, they are ROCKADAPTOR adapters, which allow you to use a 6 volt +/- side adapter with the early Rockman headphone amps without the side jack.

Re: WTF! Rockadapter?
They have the holes for the LED's. The LED's are just missing. I believe they are the regular Rockadaptors that originally had the cord and electrical outlet plug attached. Based on the missing LED's however, they have probably been stripped of their internals.Sunburst wrote:Rockman jewelry?!?

I haven't heard back from the seller yet.
