    Unhappy Need help finding power adaptor for Odyssey from 1977

    Hi there,
    a friend told me to go look for answers on this forum, since people here should probably be able to help me. So here I am
    I have an old Odyssey 2001 (made by Philips, not Magnavox), sold in Sweden (Europe) and the power adaptor is broken.

    The pin on the end is broken. I haven't seen any adaptor with as thin of an output as this one, except perhaps for some old Nokia phones from the early 2000's.
    Another friend told me it might be possible to mold the power cord straight into the machine, but I'd prefer not having to destroy/open it up.
    But I really don't know where to go to find an adaptor that fits (it also has to be European preferably for the right voltage and stuff..)

    This is what the adaptor looks like, it says:
    Input: 220V-/50Hz/3VA
    Output: 18,6V-/ 120mA
    Model: FW3009

    I don't really know much about this technical stuff, but I've been trying to google it and E-baying but haven't been able to find anything. Perhaps I could just find a spare part and replace the tip of the output?

    If there's need to see the actual console I have pictures of it in my blog entry here: http://retro-video-gaming.com/2012/0...-odyssey-2001/

    Would appreciate any advice!

    If the power supply works just replace the tip.
    It looks to be a 2.5mm mono audio jack....might be 3.5mm.


    The replacements look something like this.
