I fixed that by cutting a piece of fairly stiff foam just a big longer than
a 9 V cell - this holds the 9V adapter plug firmly against the plates
and will not affect the warranty of your tower.

and some photos and post it on my website...

| Yes, I have mounted a jack that accepts the plug of a 9V 500mA adapter on the back of one of my IR towers. Then I soldered the wires from the jack to the metal plates that are also the tower battery contacts. It been working great for almost a year (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
