Yes, it was actually cheaper and far easier to go to my local Pricess Auto and buy a 'retail card swiper' for $6 Cdn.Shoot is came complete with wall wart and phone cord! Had an 8051 variant in it,easy to modify.... better than rolloing your own. Making it battery powered would be easy.. Check out local surplus stores, amazing what you can find. j
