    Quoted from wiredoug:

    or.. just plug a 3V wall wart into the service outlet
    random example - ebay.com link
    another random example - ebay.com link

    Then its has power all the time!

    Quoted from wiredoug:

    sure does! Buts its cheaper / easier and safer. Anyway nothing says christmas ornament like leaving it running all the time... Turn machine off at wall if required.

    How it it cheaper than 3 dollars worth of parts which are pretty easy to install so to have a mod that shuts off with the machine power rather than a wall wart staying powered up all the time? Seems like the OP has a pretty good grip on the install and fundamentals so I think he is going the right route. If he seemed incompetent then your solution would probably be best.
