  1. I have been scouring google to find which other system has a power supply that will work on the Intellivision 2. I just purchased an Intellivision 2 and it came without a power supply or rf connector. There were a few sites that had people claiming the Atari Jaguar, Sega Genesis 1 and Turbo Grafx 16 power supply would work. I am pretty sure they are wrong. I have the Jaguar, Genesis 1 and Turbo Grafx 16 and none of the power supplies will fit into the jack for the Intellivision 2. As for the Atari 5200 power supply being compatible, I am not sure on that because I don't have an Atari 5200 to check. But I do have the power adapter for the Turbo Grafx CD add on for my Turbo Grafx 16. The Turbo Grafx CD power adapter fits and it does work. The amp rating is higher at 1.53 amp, compared to the 950 ma that the original Intellivision 2 power supply is listed at, but the system did power up and work. Since it has higher amperage, I only left it on for about 20 seconds, just to make sure the system powered up and the controller worked. Since finding an original power supply will be a little tough and a little costly, it is nice to be able to test the system with the Turbo Grafx CD power supply before wasting the time and money. I used an rf connector from a sega master system and a top loader nes and while the picture came through, it was fuzzy. Maybe I will try an original Atari connector to see if it makes a difference. It would be nice if someone could confirm whether or not an Atari 5200 power supply will work and is safe to use as a permanent replacement.
