Fyi, Dog Cow -
If you need to, you can get replacement power adapters from PowerBook Medic for around $25 USD. They are sold in the same black config as a 1400 adapter. Also try ebay and the like.
Also, when the connector on the yo-yo power adapter for my Pismo shorted out, I thought I'd try making a home-brew version of that specialized plug. It didn't quite work that well. Somehow, when that plug was made Apple snuck in a resistor and tied it in series between either tip-to-sleeve or ring-to-sleeve. I don't recall what the ohm value was (I think somewhere around 47 ohms or higher). Somebody may want to try and trace out the schematic for that plug. I don't have my original anymore, since I threw it out a while ago.
I did manage to salvage the rest, although I ended up using my Dremel tool to cut the plastic case apart of that yo-yo. All that's left is the center portion and the output shielded cable, which works perfectly fine. Maybe I'll find some use for it in another project, unless someone here would like to give it a new home.
