cj23 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi all, i am looking for a atari jaguar and i found one on ebay. The problem is that i live in Italy and the power supply is for uk. My question is: if i use an uk to europe adapter to use it will it work? Or if i buy an power supply that work in europe will it work?

+madman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 You should be fine, both Italy and the UK use 220-240V, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj23 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 yes, so i can use an adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I don't see why not, you should be fine since input voltages are the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Worst comes to worst you can use a MegaDrive 1 power supply (or basically any 9V center negative with the correctly sized barrel connector and that can output 1.2A or more).

danny_galaga Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Yeah, just get a UK-Italy adapter. Cheapest solution (",) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey Danny! Any chance of you making more rotaries? I've had people ask me where to get some since Rebooteroids! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Sadly no. I enjoyed making them, but towards the end it was becoming a chore. Since it is a hobby, I decided to stop there. I am really surprised no one else makes them in a similar way though. Having tried left and right handed, it is much nicer as right handed- worth the extra effort (",) Hey Danny!

cj23 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Ok thanks for your replies, now i got another question: In uk the power supply has three connectors, my adapter has only two. My problem is: the third connector connector need to be inserted in the adapter or i can use it only with the two connectors inserted? Thanks Edited January 14, 2017 by cj23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Third connector is earth. For devices like these power supplies, it's not needed (",) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruimtemuis Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi cj23, I have the same problem as you. The Jaguar Euro power supplies are hard to find unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) You don't need to use the original power supply. Any power supply with correct specs (9 V, at least 1.2 A, center negative) will work fine with the Jaguar. In particular, the Sega Genesis/Megadrive 1 (not 2!) ones are suitable ; the model number is MK-1602.

+madman Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Consolegoods in the UK has NOS Euro Jag supplies for 10 GBP. As mentioned you don't need the official Atari supply, but if you want one that's probably the best resource. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruimtemuis Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Thank you for the info Madman. And thank you for the advice Zerosquare. Edited January 17, 2017 by ruimtemuis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
