I just Double Checked....

The Power "brick" from a powerbook 1400, interchanges w/ the smaller "brick" from a PBG3, interchanges w/ the "Yo-Yo" from a clamshell i-Book.

Gotta go to a later i-Book [dual usb] or a PBG4 to get to a plug w/ a smaller diameter shield, as well as a smaller "plug".

Cant say about the later i-Book/PBG4 plug but I have personally replaced the plug on a PBG3 brick with a Phono Plug [no shield whatsoever] and It worked fine.

Finally This requires a "stereo" RCA plug... as I recall the tip was unconnected, the first ring was ground and the last ring is B+... Now that last is strictly from memory... but it was something like that. I can certainly check it!!

I think that if you were to use a smaller stereo phono plug [3mm comes to mind] that it would certainly work... IF you wired it to the correct "rings"

I will look for the info pages that I used and post back.

HTH somewhat
