Title: Supergrafx PSU
Post by: Djgilmour on February 21, 2013, 09:28:59 AM

I have a SG without PSU. I bought a 9V C/DC PSU but the plug doesn't fit. Where can I buy a plug that fits, any url?

Radioshack should have something for you, if you want a new adapter for it then go to:

They are currently sold out but you can send them an email and they'll keep you posted.

There is no radioshack in my country (holland). Can anyone give me some info/picture about the size of the plug?

Usually all these multi adaptors with exchangeable plugs should work for the sgfx.

Yeah, that's what I use.  A little googling reveals:

"The official NEC PSU for the Super Grafx was the model # PAD-113,
its specs were as follows: Input AC100V 50/60Hz 16VA Output DC9V
800mA (negative tip)."

A 6.3mm x 3.0mm pin (Radio Shack "Q") should fit this.

It should do, but that's one you'd have to wire together permanently to the PSU.
