    Default Genesis Model 1 AC replacement needed

    I picked up a Model 1 Genesis today, bare console only, hoping one of my Model 2 power supplies would work. It doesn't even fit so I know they're out. Without having a model 1 power supply on hand, will any generic ac adaptor work?

    The back of the console says DC9V 1.2A. Is this what I look for when shopping for a generic ac adaptor?

    Although I believe the NES adapter will fit in the Genesis, DO NOT DO IT. It'll fry the Model 1. You can easily find a compatible adapter on Amazon or EBay.

    You should look for the following specs:

    Sega Master System, Sega CD, and Genesis Model 1 have interchangeable power supplies.
