If you are using the machines yourself, and have good fine motor skills
and a steady soldering iron they are easy to modify to run from an
external battery, I have made several run from a pair of AAA batteries,
and other people on the list have done so with Lithium buttoncells (Like
PC Bios batteries)

The details are in the list archives somewhere
