Here's a new development which I discovered AFTER I had bought the R-D1 and took it home.
I went to recharge the battery, which had died since I bought it. Alas, there was a charger and a couple extra batteries, BUT NO POWER CORD to attach the charger to a power outlet.
So I am stuck, unable to recharge the battery
I called the shop, which is a highly reputable shop, to tell them. They did say that I could return it.
What gets me is that the shop took it in on consignment and tried to sell it without the power cord.
So what's a person to do?
I've been analyzing my options, which include asking the shop to provide a cord for me. It would be nice to be able to use the camera I just bought
I also could return it but first I'd like to give the shop the option of providing a power cord.
Arggh!

Not sure what kind of brink the RD-1 uses, but most I've come across use a generic printer cord, like this one:

you should be able to buy one locally, at a home depot sort of place.

eBay, eBay, eBay. It would be a shame to let this ruin your purchase. But still a bummer.

It is possible to get universal power rechargers as another option. A few years ago I bought a new camera from a local store. The camera had been a display model and for some reason the entire charger pack was missing. They loaned me a universal charger until they could order in the correct one for me from the distributor. I could have kept the universal one but prefered to have the real deal. Its an option to raise with you store.

I'll look, but I think I have a few of those cords. I'll send you one if I have one.
I'll check and get back to you in about an hour.

Yep, I have one. PM me with your mailing address and I'll send it.
If you are in a hurry and can find one locally the cord is a 7amp 125 volt cord.
If you have a radio shack nearby, they will probably have it as it is pretty standard.

You can get a cord, in the US, at a Radio Shack for the rd1 charger. Mine came from the UK, and that's what I had to do.

The plug on the appliance side is a pretty standard one as mentioned. I had a few lying around the house as well.
