Does anyone know where to get replacement 12V power cable connectors
(or complete cigarette lighter ready cables) with the screw down
collar? I have discovered that much arcing and sparking is caused by
poor mating of the negative contact. Could easily fry a G-11 or
CI-700 control board. Losmandy doesn't show the cable as a
replacement part and Kendrick's site isn't up. Thanx - Otto

Otto,
You might try Radio Shack.

The Radio Shack model uses a slightly larger plug (5.5mm I think),
but it works fine - I picked up one for a spare and tested it. These
are fuse protected in the part that plugs into the battery so pick up
a pack of spare fuses, just in case. It's in the $5-6 range.

Just a note here, (to get it off my chest, and because I know
that Scott reads this occasionally :-)

I absolutely love my G11. Fabulous piece of equipement. Built
like a rock, and worth every penny. The ONLY cheap bit on
the whole thing is the power cable. I learned this after accidentally
stepping on it one evening and watching the plug break, ending
early a productive evening of shooting.

My solution was to buy a pack of the little plugs intended for
universal power supplies. One of them was the right size, and I
was able to build a corresponding socket for it. Now if I step on
the cable again, the little end piece will simply come unplugged.

It would be a good upgrade to include with the scope.

My power cable broke when I tripped on the cable and the wires came out of
the cigarette adapter.After having to do some soldering I just tied a small
knot in the cord right before the wires exit the cigarette plug. This way
if you kick the wires they pull on the knot, not the solder connection.
Just a tip.
