Blackjack #1 Posted September 1, 2004 I've got both a 5200 and a Colecovision on the way, neither having power cords. Will I be able to buy one for both at Radio Shack or do either need a special one? Anybody know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Tomlin #2 Posted September 1, 2004 5200, maybe, Colecovision, no way. The Colecovision used a plug that only the TI 99/4A used, and with completely different voltages. (Do NOT plug a TI 99/4A power supply into a Colecovision! The TI 99/4A uses 18VAC, and the Coleco uses 5 and 12 volts DC!) Unfortunately, due to the way the TI plug is wired, you can't even clip the wire off and use it to hook up a generic power supply to the Coleco. The 5200 needs 9-12 volts, 2 amps. The polarity is reverse that of a Sega Genesis model 1 power supply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stingray #4 Posted September 1, 2004 I have a spare Colecovison power supply, but it would take a mighty generous offer to get me to turn loose of it. -S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
