There is a small 12 to 24 volt inverter suitable for running things like 

a Turn and Bank instrument for $2.99 on ebay. Free shipping. Adjustable 

output, 2 amp, 10 watt nominal or higher with cooling. Having abused one 

of these a fair bit, I found them surprisingly robust so I thought I'd 

mention them. My T&B only draws 0.06 amp when running but I needed a 2.5 

amp C/B to handle the startup current.

   Good data point Ken. Thanks. I've got a little

   bit heftier boost supply coming to fabricate

   into a 19v supply for laptops in the car. Right

   now, Dr. Dee plugs in a 12Dc->120AC inverter,

   then the 120AC->19DC supply with the attendant

   snarl of cords.



   Tucking one of these boost supplies behind the

   glove box with appropriate connectors on

   the console will eliminate the spider web of

   wire and monkey motion black boxes to a single

   cord with a 5.5x2.5 connector on each end.



   The supply was $9 delivered to my po box.

   You might want to poke around the installed

   supply wiring with your hand-held tuned to

   unused channels and the squelch open. Just

   be aware of any potential for interference with

   your VHF AM hardware. Even if you do find some

   detectable noise, don't go on a crusade to tame

   it until you know if it's strong enough to be

   a problem. Being aware is forewarned. The hand-held

   sniff-test is pretty sensitive and may detect

   emissions that are insignificant to your installation

   and use of the airplane.
