Original Cassette Vision?

Recommended Posts

I have gotten my hands on a Cassette Vision Jr. console, but the issue is that it did not come with a power supply/cable. 
 

If anyone has/had owned this system, do you know what kind of power supply (voltage etc.) I should look for? Would the Super Cassette Vision power supply work? 
 

Asking because I genuinely have no idea and I don’t want to fry the console.

Good call on you to ask.

 

Is that the model you own (asking because the original Cassette Vision and Vision JR may use different PSU)

If it is, then the answer is here :

You need a 6V DC power supply, with + on the outside and - on the inside (which is the opposite way nowaday) and 300 Ma but that is so low you'll certainly find something with 500 or 750 Ma (which is okay).

If you don't have a 6V power supply, you can try with a 5V one; there is no danger in feeding a console a lower voltage than expected, but the difference in power may cause the console not to power or to produce a too weak video signal.

That is indeed the same system that I have! I have been looking for plugs that are tip positive and inner negative, with 6 volts and 500ma. Many of the ones I see are on Amazon like this here allow adjustable voltage and polarity. I think this should do it then?

Yes, with such low power requirement, this kind of adapter will do the trick. And you oculd use it for other systems and/or keep the other tip for a morer powerful power supply. There isn't such thing as "enough adapters" for power supplies :D

I must thank you so much, as this worked like a charm and I had no issue powering my system!
