    What type of connector is on the underside of the WEB273 dock? I know the barrel connector can be the type for the CF28 or CF29, but I want to know what type (or where to salvage) the flat type power connector on the bottom of the unit....

    TIA!

    Based on the second image search from Google for "CF-WEB273" I get this: http://www.prc68.com/I/Images/CF28CFWEB273VIFw.jpg

    Which my hunch was right - CF-27/28 style, pin in the middle AC adapter is required.

    Additionally, and more to the point of your question: Yes, you can see in the picture that it does have the wiring to go right to the battery with the "flat cable" that you speak of.

    Thanks

    Not that one, silly. that's too obvious.
    I've already fabricated those cables for my lind; one with the 28 connector for the dock power, and one with a 29 connector for when I'm riding passenger in someone else's car.

    Did you even read my entire post???

    "Additionally, and more to the point of your question: Yes, you can see in the picture that it does have the wiring to go right to the battery with the "flat cable" that you speak of."

    That is the cable you are looking for. Yes.

    Any more info on this? I just scored a WEB273 for cheap but no power cord. I to would like to figure out the Molex looking type connector.
