I've got a spare UK charger if you get really stuck. I guess all you'll veed to do is change the plug as it is dual voltage and 50/60Hz.
It'll take a couple of weeks to reach you..
Why dont you resolder the cable (or get it done by someone?)
-
why don't you just hack the cable and get the plastic couplers from radio shack?
-
ill try the hack tonight but its pretty close to the "box" not much wiggle room
-
you could always open the box and solder on new leads
-
I've got 3 of the chargers if you need one. Let me know!

If you're in a pinch and you have some rechargable cells lying around, you could easily wire up a 4 x 1.2v rechargable cell external pack. Cost would be ~$1.43.

I used the stock plug / cord. Dunno which adaptaplug, but it's in the JB3 FAQ in the Archival Info forum.

Go buy a wally world car charger and charge it in the car. You can do that quick untill you get your wall charger worked out. Then you can hack the charger and use it to run external RC batts!!!!

I've been looking for a Wal-Mart car charger. What is it exactly I'd need?
Also, anyone know of a car charger that would work with a Eco-Charge and/or Oade 6v?

It is in the electronics area by the personal cd players and such. I think there are 2 models, and I think it was agreed that the larger one was best because of the potential for greater current draw at start-up.
