I have an AC Adapter 3. The specs on it are: bottom plate, "Input-AC, 120V 60Hz
30Va" "Output-DC, 230V 200mA/6V 3A". The top plate shows that one plug can be
used to power T series electronic flashes, and the other plug (jack, actually)
is used for T Ring Flash lamps (modeling lights) and Winder 1&2; this diagram
shows the inner area of the plug as negative and the outer as positive, with a
rating of DC 4.5V 1.2A.
The discontinued item Piers mentions is the 315V Power Pack, a item that "due
to electrical safety problems, (this unit) was abolished in many countries and
finally discontinued by Olympus. The 315V layer-built batteries are currently
also impossible to find. If you find this unit, consider it as a Collectors
Item instead of using it."
I don't know if that helps you at all; I don't have a T28 flash so I don't
know anything about it.

I don't have an amperage for you, Andrew, but I can save you wasting
time
looking for the AC Adapter 3, which I believe was withdrawn by Olympus
for
safety reasons. I have never seen any sign of a 240V version
available.
Have you thought about using a sealed lead-acid battery?

Subject: [OM] Power source for T28 modelling lights
I've decide that I would make much more effective use of this macro
flash if
I could use the modelling lights. Which I haven't been doing due to
lack of
suitable 6V source.
I have a 240V AC Adapter 2, but that doesn't have the 6V output.
Good for driving the Power Control 1 though.
The AC Adapter 3 is rated at 6V 3A. I have a 500mA DC supply that I
have
used to verify that all the lights operate correctly, but I'd be
reluctant
to use it for any length of time given the rating of the Olympus unit.
So my question: does anyone have information about the actual current
draw
of these lights? I can buy a 3A multi-voltage supply for $A75, which is
expensive enough to warrant looking at the alternatives, such as trying
to
get along with a 1 or 2A supply.
Of course, I could look for an Adapter 3, but a search on you know
where
doesn't come up with anything anywhere in the last few months,
especially in
240V version (although I suspect the 220V version would be OK for this
purpose).
thanks
