An enterprising gentleman has developed an after-market Classic series DC power plug and a USB power cable - I purchased a USB cable from eB*y and it is wonderful! He also sells just the connector for retrofit in case your connector/cable is flakey. A little pricey, but not when compared to the alternative. Highly recommended.

I could use a new plug as mine has its structural integrity provided by a lot of Loctite epoxy. ;) What I'd really like to see is a faithful molded repro, in black plastic, of the original plug. -Tim

hey Tim, What would you pay for a new plug? I could model one in CAD and then "rapid prototyped" from a hard rubber. No mold required. I need one for a restoration I am doing. If you might pay, maybe I'd got that route. Adam

That would be interestating, do you think it could be done for the battery cover latches as well ? Take care Alberto

Perhaps. That would take a bit more modeling and trial and error, I think. I have a need too on a 55 that has acid eaten latches. What model do you need them for? Do you feel there is a bigger demand for these?

Well, I do think very is a huge demand, if price is attractive enough, since are very easy to break, 8 out of 10 battery covers will need a replacement.

well, I modeled the part up and am getting the first piece today or tomorrow. I will need to match the color of my 55 (black should be much easier). I only have a 55. Are all the classics the same except for color? If succesful with this one, it shouldn't be hard to do the other models. I would need good samples to start from. Are you willing to let me borrow yours if it is different than the 55?
peace,

Sure I will, I have sent you an email, how much are we talking about ? take care, Alberto
03-16-2010, 05:38 PM
I'll let you know when I get a price to produce the part. I should know on Weds. Adam

Thank you very much for the time and the brilliant idea, take care Alberto |
