Pierre has some instruction's on here somewhere, but anyway I soldered an old phone charger wires to the + and - inside the unit....been working fine for years now.
Life is like Kool-Aid, gotta add sugar/hardwork to make it sweet!!

I've got some of those harborfreight laser's hooked up on my press, and big thanks to Pierre for the instruction's on how to convert them to electric, they are a little hard to under the shop light but hey they get the job done.

How did you do it? I picked up a couple of those last month for the embroidery machine and would love to be able to plug them in. It's cheaper to buy a new one than to buy batteries for it LOL

Some notes on conversion from P....

pry the front off (it is glued on).
unscrew the ring with three little screws.
unscrew the back.
remove the clear plastic sleeve from the inside.
pull out the metal sleeve from the inside.
drill the whole on the top and line up the hole in the metal sleeve with it (actually, make sure you drill the hole where the sleeve hole will be when assembled)
solder the wires to the front and back.
close everything.

Adapter plugs: Somewhere between 3-4.5VDC. I think I found that 3VDC works better if it is available.
