Good ideas

This comes from Jack Snow a flyer with the Central Ontario Racing Pigeon Federation.

"If you are using your clock and have no power supply rather tnan purchasing a battery,a hook-up cable and a battery charger, go to Canadian Tire and get the Eliminator power box(approx. $150.00) Plug your power bar into the Eliminator; it will run your clock for approx. 3 months. You could also run a printer. Be sure and charge the Elimintor weekly."

In places other than Canada the same product must be available under another name at your local hardware store. This picture may help.
