Title: WTB: TG16 power supply
Post by: chemdream on October 31, 2015, 12:03:28 PM

I was going to just buy one of those 3-in-1 PSUs from ebay but none of them specifically said 10.5v...

Hoping to buy a TG16 power supply from someone here, so I know it will be right...

Thanks!

Any 9v DC adapter of the correct polarity and size will work.  Genesis 1 adapters will work.  DO NOT use a regular Nintendo adapter as they will damage your system.

Those three in ones are terrible btw. I use a genny 1 adapter with mine.

BlueBMW is right. Shop around you may find a Sega model 1 for less than this but

Then grab this from console5.com

That should take care of you for less than what a real PCE, TDuo power supply would cost you.

Edit:
Pretty sure the genny model 1 needs the adapter correct? I don't think it fits or has the right polarity without it.

He has a tg16, the Genny 1 plugs right in. The Duo uses a different adapter.

or there is a 9v 1500ma on ebay for $2.58 shipped that just needs the polarity flipped

I didn't know Genny power plugs work with the TurbGrafx.  Good to know.  Thank you.
