Gene, you posted about an adapter organizing box some time back. wtfwuzit?
Someone’s got it in for me, they’re planting stories in the press Whoever it is I wish they’d cut it out but when they will I can only guess. They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy, She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me. I can’t help it if I’m lucky.

Bada Bump...anybody else know what
I'm looking for? IIRC it was a recessed box that hid the adapter clutter/rat's nest of the phone, answering machine, and cell phone chargers?

I understand now.From your orginal message I did not have any idea of what you where talking about.http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?a=b&item=9405http://www.hometech.com/techwire/special.htmlAbout 1/2 way down the page.But it does not do all that you want.What it is good for is for cordless phones and answering machines that can be wall mounted and allows the low voltage cable from the transformer/power supply to be hidden in the wall.But there has been discussions on ways to handle cellphone chargers and the like.I thought that there had been a "Design Ideas" column on this, but the search did not find it (and not sure what to use for search terms). But you might want to check out this article.http://www.taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/articles/cook-up-kitchen-office.aspx?ac=ts&ra=fpIt came up in several different searches for ipod and also cell charger.One scheme is to make a wall niche with a false bottom in it. Under the bottom you have a receptacle and places for the transformers.The wires would run through holes in the shelf or notches in the back.You could do similar with a surface mounted cabinets or with a kitch desk..
.
A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
For some reason the design ideas column doesn't show up on the search, I don't think they archive those articles online.
Jeeze Bill, I don't see how I could have been clearer<G>Looks like the market is still open, I'll have to call Larry! Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press

I recall a picture of a sort of wall niche with a bottom ledge that was a lift top kinda like the old elementary desks or a lift-top secretary. Outlets and phone jack under the top, with slots for the cables to exit.
If your view never changes you're following the wrong leader
Leviton has it. The 12V transformer is integral, so the phone does a wall-mount to it, and there is no dangling cord routed to a receptacle, with one of those littlebox transformers.
You need the model #, or is this a good enough lead?
If it's what Bill posted, I'm good...otherwise, help me out, please. Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press

That's it. Notice how Leviton includes every type of 12V plug imaginable, so it will adapt to any phone. I think there are four.
You would think that 12V power plugs would be standardized, but they aren't.
Not to mention that not everything is 12 volt either!
Brian, the problem addressed here with this Leviton product, is how to mount one of today's telephone-answering-machine devices to the wall, and not have that need for the dangling cord that feeds the 12V power from the stupid little transformer that needs to be plugged into a nearby 110V receptacle.
Go to Circuit City, Best Buy, Sam's, Radio Shack, or anywhere that electronics and telephones are sold, and you can find literally hundreds of choices of these.
I've not seen one yet that isn't 12V, and powered through its own little supplied-in-the-box transformer.
Come to think of it, with all the other stuff beyond the wallphone center that is in need of a solution for hiding the xformers, if I were building a new house, I would find the best place in the house for a "charging center," and build a recess into the wall at that point for mounting enough receptacles for plugging in all the little black boxes, then cover the opening with a nicely-detailed small louvered door or hatch.
All the charging plugs would come through one or more openings in the hatch or door, and there would be a shelf on which all the cellphones, PDAs, cameras, etc., could sit while soaking up a new charge.
