TheCoolDave Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hey all, I am working on getting my classic consoles back, I have about 20 boxed Odyssey 2 games that are in pretty good shape. I've been trying to find a matching powercord for my console. It got lost along the way. The only ones I can seem to find is on ebay and they want $35+ for them... I think that is 2x times I paid for the whole console Any other more "affordable" options for a powercord ? I just cant find anything affordable that hits the voltage needed. Thanks !

S.BAZ Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 My O2 power supply says "output 11.5v" this page: http://www.the-nextlevel.com/odyssey2/faq/essentials/ ...says the O2 can handle both types of power supply, 9v-14v and won't get wrecked. I often find random 12v power supplies that I bet would work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/284292-replacement-powercord-for-odyssey-2/#findComment-4140995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug0909 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I tried using an aftermarket NES power supply. It worked but I got static. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/284292-replacement-powercord-for-odyssey-2/#findComment-4141005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often find random 12v power supplies that I bet would work. That helps a lot, I had a picture of one trying to match it perfectly so it was not a good quest but, now that I see it's fairly flexable, I should be able to find one a LOT easier I'm assuming it's not advised to use a not spec'd power supply for long term. It's going to go in a switched cabinet (so they are not always plugged in), I don't want to have it burn out the system 2-3 years from now.

S.BAZ Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 To play it safe, I would use a power supply that outputs less than 11.5v. 9v is very common and I've seen10.5v now and again. To my understanding, it's the extra voltage that can wear out your hardware.

carlsson Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Which type of power connector do you have? I think it is much harder to find a matching connector than to find a matching voltage.
