MOMO Force Back Wheel

Still having problems, since I didn't get a power supply with it.
Someone gave me so info that it takes a 24V .75A power supply. Is this
AC or DC? THe back of the wheel says DC. I went to Radio Shack and got
one (24V AC 1000mA), but it's AC and doesn't light up the lights on the
wheel. From what I know of working on boats, theres a difference in AC
and DC

I ordered one from Logitech, but their back ordered..................

Any ideas, I have force feed back enabled under options for Nascar 2003.

My time is almost up to return the wheel to Circurit City. I really do
like the feel of the wheel, just would like FFB, since I paid for it.

Thanks

Do NOT use an AC adapter on a DC wheel. (Or any other DC electronic
equipment for that matter)

If it hasn't got any protection against reverse polarity (ie diodes) inside
the wheel, there is a good chance you could cause irrepairable damage to the
wheel and/or the power supply (which would not be covered by the
manufacturers guarantee).

Huh? you didn't get a power supply with it? and you purchased it from
circuit city? Why the heck didn't you return it the second you opened it up?
