Look what I just found on eBay. Buying them now…will build a few, test and send to favorite customers if it goes smoothly. See MagSafe female parts here – http://www.ebay.com/itm/261338539430

Hi Matthias – Nice, we’ll have to try this soon. Please send us pics if you have them and we can share your process with others. /jeff

Once you desolder the pins you have a pair of usable connectors. Be sure to use a towel or something else to protect the connectors from scratches.

Hi Ben, We’ll look for the female end of a MacBook and if we can find one (or you can find one and mail it to us), we’ll hack one for you. /jeff

I can see why, but lugging the V60’s brick is a pain in the redundancy.
