iPod Altoids Tin Charger

Going down to ATL, 67 rode with 68, and one of 68's team members had some thing that I found very interesting. He had built an iPod battery recharger with 9 volt batteries in an Altoids tin. (Sorry, I've forgotten his name)

Here is a link to instructions to build one if anyone is interested. However, I have a question.
Does anybody know where I can get a female firewire connector, not from an online source? I don't have a credit card to use.

One like the third one down on this page:
