Hi all,
I've just picked up one of those by-the-pound pile of bricks from an ebay
auction. It includes the 2840 Technic Control Center
console(http://peeron.com/inv/parts/2840b) that came with the first Technic
Control Center set - 8094 (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8094).
Now, as some of you might know, this first version of the console runs on
batteries only. The second version, included in set 8485
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8485) had an outlet to plug in a regular Lego
transformer which could in turn get power from a regular wall outlet.
But this earlier version does have two cable ends sticking out of the two
holes used to latch the battery cover shut. I've uploaded a picture to
brickshelf.

So, my question is: does anybody know what those two cables are? Has anybody
connected a Lego transformer to them? Is there anything inside the Control
Center console that I could burn by doing it? Any ideas?
BTW, I could get another console. And I will probably end up doing so. But
they are hard to come by; tend to be pricey and I want both to be able to
connect to wall outlets. Evironmental concerns (that for once are actually
convenient) over-rule my innane highly purists thoughts about modifying Lego
elements =8D (Planet first, Lego second)
Thanks,
Miguel Agullo
