Power Supply plug

[Eric L. Peters]

Hello:

I have a loose wire (or perhaps a short in the plug) where the power 
supply plugs into my Ti 667 (power keeps interrupting, but comes back 
on when I fiddle with it. The amount of fiddling needed is steadily 
increasing). I REALLY would like to avoid buying a new "flying 
saucer". Is there any reason why I can't simply cut a couple of 
inches off the end of the cord. and replace the plug?  If this is 
practical, what do I replace the plug with and where can I get one? 
I'm out of warranty and I don't have AppleCare.

Thanks very much,
--
