Re: [NTLK] Car Charger for $70?

Radio Shack has one for $26.49:

Universal Vehicle DC-to-DC Adapter
Model: 273-1811 | Catalog #: 273-1811

It has adjustable output for 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9VDC output, and uses
adaptaplugs. You'll need to take your MP2100 to a store and see which
plug is required; hopefully it will be one of the 4 included (A, B, H,
M) in the package.

BTW, is the MP2100 input jack + tip, - ring or vice versa?
