    Default Help me verify a replacement Sega CDX adapter will work!

    I have been trying for months to win a good condition, project Sega CDX unit to tinker with and enjoy. I finally found one, but it is loose. My main stumbling block has been finding a proper AC adapter for it that is inexpensive. The SUP-60 is long discontinued. The original uses:

    Input: 120V AC 60Hz 23W
    Output: 9.5V DC 1.5A
    Outer polarity negative, inner positive, yellow plug

    Here is the one I found, a $6 laptop charger:
    Input: 100-240V ~1.0-0.6A, 50/60Hz
    Output: 9.5V~2.5A, 24W (not sure if this is 9.5V DC)
    Same Outer polarity negative, inner positive, yellow plug

    Search the 'bay for: Asus Eee 700 power
    Seems like a much better solution than the $22 one I found at a retro game shop online (mentioned in a similar thread started by me on this sub-section).

    What do you say, pull the trigger and buy one??? I see the volts are the same, not sure on the watts. Not sure if this is also unregulated like the original which needed to be powered to output the proper voltage, or if it is always stuck at 9.5V. Can someone more knowledgeable in AC adapters guide me?

    This could help out a lot of new CDX owners...most systems are sold with a Genesis 2 AC adapter which is very underpowered and won't work for long. This one has the same plug, the same volts, the same polarity, more than the spec amps....good? Bad?
