    Like this:



    It says laptop cord when I found it in a google search... Come to think of it my laptop does have that type of cord. I've noticed the ones for boomboxes are more compact though.

    Oh... those...


    The problem with those though, is that there are many variations of them so it may be hard to find matching sets to build all your sabers with them. And often times it's hard to tell the difference until you go to plug the wrong one in...

    On the up side, they are built to be very durable so they will take a lot of abuse!

    This laptop is actually powered by one of them.

    Well, all the cheapie boomboxes I've ever had use the same type of chord. I think we lost all of them and have been using the same two for about a decade now..

    My laptop one is the same as the pictured one, but the ones I refer too have like half of the rubber around it making it more compact.

    My Sony stuff has those plugs but I can't use them on my laptop, and I can't use my Laptop one on my radios.

    The Sony stuff is pretty obvious because one side is square and the other side is round.

    I just finished my rechargeable upgrade. This saber now has MR Luke sound and a 4.8v 2000 mAh NIMH rechargeable battery made from 8 AAA cells. The recharge port is similar to X-wings.




    I tried to run the LED through a 5v relay like my Mace conversion, but couldn't get it to work properly. So I ended up driving the green 3w off the MR board.

    MC, that is most impressive work. That first pic should be in the calendar.

    Very cool MC.

    I am glad this has popped up since I was thinking of doing rechargables in my up coming staff.

    Default recharge port

    xwing thats the same style plug as you would find in a playstation, but fb's plug is much easier to use since the female plug is not even an inch across and extremely thin, it fits into the switch box on the mr ani and vader sabers with great ease, and we all know space is at a premium in those areas
