y'know, all that thing is is a simple power supply. (not well regulated
at that)  You can run a //c from any 12 volt source. (and with the proper
adjustments, the monitors too)  Just get the specs from someone here on
that 5 pin DIN connector (which is ground, which is 12v) and get a $35
rat shack CB power supply.  If I'm wrong about only supplying 12v, go
ahead flame me, I deserve it. (pity I can't unplug it now to measure!!!)
