Hi again,
You're right. I opened the console and the 2 cables were (rather coarsely)
connected to the cables that go to the battery leads.
I guess that means I can't connect the transformer without further
modifications?
BTW, I saw your version of jump-o-bot. Can I ask you to consider linking to
my page, if only to provide visitors with the instructions to the artefact?
I was gladly surprised to find your version and will link to it from TP's
site. TP's site is on a yearly sabbatical of sorts, but not forgotten or
discarded. I'll add new stuff to it as soon as I get rid of some other
Lego-related business that's taking up my time.
Thanks again!
