I have one of these lying around, but I can't find the adapter to power the motors. The only reserve adapter with an appropriate DC output I have does not fit into the port.
Does anybody know what kind of plug it needs? Are replacements easy to find?

Find a spare power adapter with a plug that fits, even if it's not the correct voltage, then cut it off and splice it onto the power adapter with the correct voltage. I actually had to do that the other day to get an old pair of computer speakers working. 🤣

I haven't even found one suitable plug. Many can reach deep without being tightened, but I don't know if a connection is made. I've searched on Google, and it looks like a common laptop plug on images, though I can't tell for sure.

You should pay attention to the voltage, current and polarity.

Then, a universal power supply should solve your problem.
