Hi, Andres;

can you check if the batteries are O.K.? If I am not wrong, the batteries are used in the voltage regulator circuit as a reference. If they are completely down, I am not sure if the HP97 can be turned on.

Please, wait a bit more for others to post prior to go ahead with additional procedures. It's worth waiting to have a good, working HP97...

Success!

I doubt that a 9VAC adapter would do any damage.
