I just got a Silver Champion and I want to know if the blue shocks that raise the panels will break or if they are the updated ones? Rob (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Heather, As far as I know, the transformer has a plug on the end, so you should be able to go to any RadioShack and get a 9V-800mA(or so) adapter. Just be sure to check polarity. Are there any symbols near the jack on the Command Center (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

The sets dont need to be current... the part I am talking about is a "modular" connector. It has 2 pegholes on the "top", and then a set of 2 pegholes on both sides folowed by 2 more sets of pegholes on the other 2 sides. The ones on top and 2 of (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)
