Replacing a corroded dc port on Genesis 2

[destroyah3034]

Hello fellow members. This will be my first post here on these forums, and I hope to be of service when I learn enough to help others.

I recently bought a Sega Genesis model 2 on ebay with a whole load of games that look to be in excellent condition. Everything on the console looks to be in order, and after taking it completely apart, I noticed that the dc port had a whole mess of green corrosion on the inside of the barrel entry.

So my question is this: does anyone know the proper and exact replacement jack that I will need to repair this console? I'm relatively handy with the soldering iron so that isn't a problem for me. It seems that the dc jack is of the three pronged variety, with two spider leg connectors on the sides and a single thick connector perpendicular to the other two farther back.

If anyone has a matching model number or equivalent it would be most helpful. Again thanks for your time.

I've got originals, pulled from SG2 units. They're right under $5 shipped.

before replacing it i would de-silder the jack and drop it in a cup with some fresh coke or pepsi in it, that usually takes care of the funky corrosion, just be sure to clean it real good before soldering it back on there

Squeept, do you do combined shipping for those, say if I were to pick up both of the jacks you have? I may just do that if you do.

Hmmm never thought about doing something like that, would you have any suggests on how long it should stay in the pop?

couple minutes atleast, and a tooth brush in ther scrubbing it every once in a while wouldnt hurt
