Looking for a Famicom AC Adapter

[Turlough]

Hey guys ,

I have a universal adapter i've been using but I want to find an adapter that is the exact stats for the famicom i have the AV famicom model so if you know anyone that has one for sale or if you have a spare for sale please let me know

You'll probably be unable to find one unfortunately, but it's not all bad. Rather than pray and hope someone will have one, why not pick up and use a generic AC adapter or one from a Genesis model 1? The outputs you need are 9v DC with center pin negative like this: + ----C---- -

This is a very very common ac adapter you can find from any number of electrical devices.

I've tried the genesis model 1 adapter and my famicom got hot  to the point where the cartridge and the pin connectors on the inside were hot to the touch. I found a universal adapter that does 9v DC but i'm afraid of the mA if its pulling too much or not

Turlough:
Just buy a "universal AC/DC adapter", but invest a little, buy something like this:

NOT THIS:


-these are only for showing you the different look of a quality one and a cheap chinese exploding one. Go to a local electronics shop and ask for the highest quality, range for example from 3V - 15V, amperage 1000 - 1500mA. The higher quality means also less distortion and/or power dropdown when connected to a electronic device. The distortion also causes the screen distortion, and you don't want to look at a distorted mario just because you didn't wanted to pay a little more for the adapter. One small hint - the bigger/heavier - the better! My adapter is looking like a laptop adapter...big and heavy

If you buy it don't forget the correct setting:
Set it to something close to 10V
Center must be negative + ---- C----- -  so don't make a mistake or you blow the famicom.
(I read you have been using an universal one so you know of this, but I am writing this for other members also)

I am sure that those will work on your famicom because they are 9v but they are from pirated consoles....
I already sold one and it works on another famiclone ( the one with the keyboard ) but i am sure that you will find something else

1 DO NOT, WHATEVER YOU DO, use a NES adapter.
2 Super Famicom (snes?) adapters work.
3 I have an adapter behind my TV that is supposedly a NES/SNES/Genesis1 plug. A Genesis 1 AC Adpt. should work.
4 All you need is an adaptor that gives about 9-10V DC (Not AC)
5 Check amazon or ebay or a game store  for a Gensis 1 AC.

Hope that helps!
