Power Supply compatability and colour nonsense

[Mamemeister]

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I did check before posting. I've got a Woody 2600 which plays fine with exception of the picture. The picture is very washed out with bad colour bleeding. I've tried turning the little screw beside the modulator with little success.

 

Is there any easy fix for this?

 

With this in mind I've been tentatively looking to pick up a replacement model but it seems that a lot of Ebay auctions never seem to include a power supply. Before I lash out on a replacement machine I'd appreciate If someone could advise if the woody power supply would work on newer models of the 2600.

 

Appreciate the help in advance chaps.

As far as I know, all models are compatible with each other regarding power supply.

Ah smashing, thanks chap.

There is a minor exception, which only a few people will encounter. The Sears Video Arcade II and Atari 2800 (different badgings of the same console) take a different plug, and I have read that their wallcubes actually output AC instead of DC.

Can anybody confirm this? I have a 2800 without power supply

That's correct. The SVAII and 2800 output 9VAC. Just use a regular NES supply.

I use one for the HSC on occasion.
