I came across a inexpensive PC Engine Duo without power cord or anything else. I decided to see if I can get it up and running.

Ordered a controller, I found an AV cable and am using a 9v DC from Radio Shack that I have heard works fine.

Everything turns on, I get to the 'Press Run' Super CD screen, the disk spins but nothing loads. I've noticed there's also a slight 'pulse' every 4 seconds or so where the light on the system flashes and the screen dims for a moment.

Any ideas or should I just buy a complete one?

How many MA does the ac adapter output? A DUO needs around 1000MA to operate well.

And that answers that question. The one he sold me was only 300. well that's $20 down the proverbial drain. Any good places to order a cheap power adapter.

Thanks!... damn, they're sold out. So close to re-playing my favorite Super CD games, yet, so far away.

go into the sales section and tell everyone you want to buy one. i'm sure someone will sell you one reasonbly.

I hereby offer to sell one unreasonably.  In lieu of cash I desire a blood offering.  And some pie.  Wash your hands in between though please.

I actually don't have one for sale, and this one's pricey, but it's in stock:

LOL, damn, the bloodletting would have made for an interesting sale.

I'm willing to source an adapter for a smaller blood offering.  A mouse perhaps?  "A canary?", I query.
