Kirk -
I used Sammy's advice and photos to wire up my MX100 which now belongs to Jimmc. I was able to easily find the 4pin DIN connector to attach to the back of the MX100 at my local electronics store (
www.unicornelectronics.com) Doing it with the connector versus hard wiring has it's advantages as well as disadvantages.
1. ADV - You can unplug it when not in use and makes it easier for transport.
2. ADV - No "hacking" to the original box.
3. DIS - The connector was not a mega-tight fit. I lost power for milliseconds while taping when I was adjusting my gear. The plug "wiggled" and my tape has spots where there is nothing or strong static. Once I had my gear in place, all was good. Be careful is all I am saying. Your plug might be better than mine.
Jimmc has taped with that MX100 quite a bit, and uses a new power cable that I wired up for him. We made the cable as short as possible to avoid this. I doubt he runs the MX100 in an upright position (pots facing sky) since the power cable would then be taking the weight of the MX100. I always ran it flat to avoid my connector issue.
The MX100 is a great unit! Enjoy it!
