    Default QUestion about the Turbo Grafx power adapter

    I'm getting a Turbo Grafx, the only thing is, it doesn't have a power adapter. Is their an adapter I can get at like Radio Shack or something that will work with it?

    I know I can get one of Ebay, but with shipping and everything it's like damn near 13 bucks or so, which is kinda of a rip off for just a power adapter.

    Mostly to bump your thread, BUT I think a genesis 1 AC will do the trick.

    $13US for an adapter isn't cheap, but is par for the course for the desperate. I buy every videogame AC adapter I see at thrifts, whether or not I need it.

    I've gotten it to work once, but the second time I tried it didn't provide enough power so it's not something you should rely on. Since the TG PSU is 10.5 and the NES is only 9

    The NES power supply is AC, and the TG16 is DC. I wouldn't mix the two.

    Also, as long as the current rating is sufficient (1.2A, .85A, .etc), a volt or two's difference won't matter. I've used a Genesis 1, and Radio Shack 9v/800ma power supply with my Turbo & they worked just fine.

    When I bought my TG-16(used) it was missing the Power Supply..
    The guy did include a Genesis power supply that I have been using for over 7 years...with no problems..
    I just plugged it in again..Still works fine..I did have to play a little Time Cruise though since I hooked it up....
    I use either...Genesis power supply

    Sega DC adapter Model 1602 (+)---(0----(-)
    It's 9V DC 1.2A 35W
    Or.
    Sega DC adapter Model 1602-1(+)---(0----(-)
    it's 10V DC 1.2A..20W......I bit closer since the TG requires DC 10.5 (+)---(0----(-)

    I use either but I think the 9V would be easier to find.
    They both work the same for me...,my TV looks clear no matter how long I leave it on.
