I found a good tidbit on Usenet. Many of the old US Robotics external modems used a 9VAC, 1 amp power supply. I just happened to have one in my computer room, checked it, and indeed, it was 9VAC, 1 amp. I plugged it in, slid in a Kung-Fu cart, and got the classic blinky-blink on the power LED. So I cleaned the unit and the cart. Same thing. Time for more troubleshooting (lockout chip mod?), but hey, at least I found a good power brick.
Thanks again for the help!

A while back I checked eBay for NES power adapters, and was surprised how rare they are. Seems everybody just sells generics.

NES and SNES also use totally diffrent power connectors, so the supplies aren't swappable in the first place.

I just bought a NES yesterday and the power supply I got with it was a dual NES SNES adapter. So I went through my random adapters I kept and found one that was used for one of my old cell phones I think?
The specs are as follows:
Input: 120v AC 60 Hz
Output: 9V DC 500 mA
Ploarity: (-)---(*---(+)
I was wondering if this adapter would work since it seems that all you need is 9V DC...or would 500 mA be too small?
Thanks for the help!!!

500mA is too weak. It won't hurt anything but it probably won't work properly.
The voltage is fine, and the NES doesn't care about polarity.
The supply for an older style Genesis works well on the NES, and they seem to be easier to find.
