I didn't want to have to buy even more power adapters, I have about a dozen
of them around here now. I just need to adapt one of the adapters I have
now, to the plug that I need it to go into.

Someone somewhere on the web must sell tip adapters to convert one tip to
another size. If I new what they were called, I might even find them cheap
on Ebay.
