Brand new Colecovision power connectors

If you're crafty and don't mind soldering all you need is 3 el-cheapo AC-DC converters and you can make it yourself (+12V 1A, +5V 2A, +5V 1A) and it's all inside the Coleco once done. (+12V if for +12, +5V 2A is for +5 and +5V 1A is for -5V [just connect the - with -5V and the + with GND])

Total cost of material is around 10-12US$ but it takes around 1H once you have all the parts (case mod excluded).

Didn't need.

The CV power brinck lists what voltage goes where in the connector, once you have that translating into internal wiring is very simple.

 

Regarding using the 3 el-cheapo AC-DC, you really just need to crack them open, all the AC are wired together (3 left prongs and 3 right prongs) and to a connector or wire that goes to the mains.

The output of each is wired as follows:

+ of 12V 1A goes to CV wire for +12V

+ of 5V 2A goes to CV wire for +5V

- of 5V 1A goes to CV wire for -5V

you are now left with - of 12V, - of 5V 2A and + of 5V 1A, wire them all together and then to CV wire for GND.

I'll sell you my new connector and you don't even need to open your coleco.
