Title: Replacement power adapter, PCE
Post by: Jitawa on 04/21/2008, 06:58 AM
This is probably a stupid question, but I seem to keep finding TG-16 references instead of PCE ones when I look.

I need to find a replacement power adapter for the original white PCE, just not sure what the specs on the original one were.

They are the exact same as the American TG-16.

In other words,

* You can use the American TG-16 AC adapter (brick-on-a-rope) with the white PCE core.
* Any substitute that works on the American TG-16 will work on the white Japanese PCE core.

Beware that the power supplies for the Duo models and the Supergrafx are different.

I have a spare TG-16 one, I think I recall hearing that a model 1 Genesis power adapter also works?  Either way, as long as I'm not using it on -that- TG-16 it doesn't matter I guess.

Indeed it does. Any 9VDC power supply with negative tip polarity and amperage above 650 mA will work fine.
