That sounds like a power cord for the Winder. (The Winder II has the same
gizmo available for it.) Precisely what kind of power pack the other end
should fit in, I have no idea. I'm sure there's an Oly accessory -- I've just
never seen it.

That one's got me stumped. Is this on the *same* cord? Yoicks.

Makes sense. Power's now been cut off from the internal pack, and the Winder's
expecting power from an external source. At least, that's what I believe.
