SilverSpike: It'd be kinda southern engineered, but assuming the batteries are in series, that adds up to 3V. You could take the wires that it has, and try to find a 3V power supply somewhere, hook the positive to the positve, and negative to negative, and be good to go. There wouldn't be any battery backup though, it'd take a fancy circuit to rig that up. If you can't find a 3V supply anywhere, go to O'Reilly's and get a 12-6V converter and hook it up inline on a 6V power pack (they're easier to come by). Otherwise--get LiIon batteries. Lithium Ion's have a whole lot more power than alkalines, and will last about 10x as long. Downside-they're expensive, but cheaper than 10 sets of alkalines. Congrats DerJohn! Good luck, Greg
