now if you were a little north in SF I could help you how long are you going to be there ?


good luck

if you don't find one ... get this one and you can always sell it later or keep it as a backup unit :

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Also, worried about sleeping without machine , when I was 100% compliant for 9 months.

Anybody have any idea where to buy replacement in Los Angeles? Only speciality shop?

If what got left behind is the cord from the wall to the power block, Radio Shack will have one. Its a common electronic cord with a figure 8 end.

If the power block is what got left behind, then the solution is a lot more complicated.

In LA for 4 days- originally from East Bay and fleeing the storms.

Yes the power block and cord got left behind.

Sorry for duplicate, but still learning how to use board.
It is the power block and power cord. Tell me complications and suggest where to get another.

I am a Kaiser patient and surely their sleep lab would sell me one.

Doesn't Apria sell power cords? Surely I don't have to buy a whole machine?

Los Angeles is a big place. Where in LA? And would the power cord for an M Series Pro work with your machine?

Can anyone else tell me if the cord to my spare machine would work for them?

Ok, so the cord won't work. If they don't find a better solution, they could borrow the machine. Offer is out there.

Thank you all- it helps so much to know there is a network at cpaptalk who I could reach out to. I will register properly this evening.

I have been on the phone with Apria for 2 hours , now getting ready to pick up power block
