A 12V dc wall-wart supply and a US inverter will be most economical, tho you would have to do your own connections from the 12V to the inverter (trivial: red to red, black to black wires). Sourcing...

FWIW, on my Durst L1200, I do as Alex suggests - you can push the top half of the neg carrier up a bit to make enough room to finely position the negative strip. But, also like Alex, I have no idea...

One is a (selective) scan of a negative, the other has been through Rob's artistic choices. If it were my shot, the print would look absolutely nothing like the negative :D
