APS 5pin mini-din power brick replacement?

I recently picked up a collection of external APS enclosures missing their power adapters. They use 5-pin mini-din connectors.
Unfortunately the enclosures don't say much other than 90-240 VAC 50-60Hz.
I tried looking through the apstech.com site on the way back machine but didn't find any information for replacement power adapters or power draw.
Does anyone have one of these enclosures with this type of connector? I'm currently looking at 12V 5V 1.5A 2A Power Supplies, but I'd like to confirm before I buy.

Finally found a mention of the external power supply in an advertisement, but nothing about what it's specs are. Hopefully someone has one of these, or I'll just have to risk a purchase and try.

I do! ...and recall spending a lot of time figuring out a power supply for it. I don't recall where I purchased it but here's picture of the label with the specs and importantly the connector pin-out. I have vague memoir of find ones online that looked all good except one of the 5 pins was off.

Thank-you!

Having difficulty finding this, plenty of adapters with the GRD and +5volt pins flipped from what you have. I thought I had found what I needed on amazon, the icon in the product pictures was correct, but when it arrived the actual product had the icon below.... Trying to figure out the right search string for this.
