Got a Jag for cheap with nothing but the console. What do?

[cmb1100]

Hey guys! I got a good deal on a Jag, but it only has the console. I want to know what power supply I could use because it seems to be a pretty standard plug for power. My only worries are A/V and finding a controller. If you guys have any advice for me I'd be much obliged, and if any of you could send me or sell me (for a reasonable price of course) a A/V cable, controller, or both I'd be very grateful.

 

Thanks!

The power supply is 9 volts, 1.2 A (1200 mA) or more, center negative (don't use the opposite polarity, you'll damage the console).

Using a Genesis/Megadrive 1 power supply is okay; don't use the one from the Genesis/Megadrive 2.

 

The A/V cable can be built if you know how to use a soldering iron (or know someone who does). Otherwise you can get an official one, but they tend to be expensive for what they are. If your Jaguar has a RF output and you still have a TV set with an analog tuner, you can also use a standard antenna cable, but the picture and sound quality will be poor.

 

For the controller, several companies sell them. Where are you from?

 

Oh, and grab a copy of Tempest 2000. It's cheap and it's one of the Jaguar's best games

Finding the necessary hardware is no problem.
