The other thing I tried a few times with the "funky cord" was to attach it to a 9 volt battery. Now if you ever want to have an M winder move quickly!!!!!!! But it was kinda hard on it so I didn't do it too often. Although the way I felt about the damn thing I guess I should have just left the 9 volter on and drove the winder like the beast it was! :) I have to give the warning: "do not try this at home!" with the 9 volt battery, it'll scare the hell out of folks!:) Might even make you jump the first time it clatters away.:) ted
