ssclark: if you can locate the voltage and amperage (and size of the plug), you can probably get a replacement of sorts from Radio Shack. I had to do this a few months ago, and while it's not cheap, it'll work.
Here's a link that may help: http://www.radioshack.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2032153&cp=2032056.2032136 10/14/2006 9:26:36 PM |

you're a moron.
the closest things I found:
18.99 for a NES ac power supply at radio shack 19.99 for a multi-console adapter at sears
either way, 18.99 does NOT equal profit. nor does 19.99, just to head that off at the pass.
I suggest ebay: OEM SNES Power Supply.

$10 SHIPPED.
ya'll need to buy a fucking clue with the money I just saved you.
these may also help those that blindly stumble into radio shack begging for help.

and btw, just because Im an asshole, doesn't mean this doesnt help you.

or you can have instant satisfaction with a guaranteed "it works" for $9 more. I'd rather pay $9 more and know it'll work than buy from some ebay store with no return policy that doesn't include me paying $9 to ship it back.

^ that's why you buy from trusted sellers, with good feedback. besides that, radio shack does not* have NES or SNES PS's in store. they have answering machine psu's that are close, but not quite the required miliamperage. how do i know this, you might ask? I checked at TTC mall radio shack two days ago. sears has teh $20 multi-solution, but it dun come with interchangeable tips, or a variable current switch. so much for your instant "it works" theory.

^^ Fool, you don't need to "match" the amperage. All you need to do is make sure the amperage of the adapter is greater than the amperage of the device it is powering.
Now, you don't want to go too far over, because a non-regulated adapter (just a transformer, diodes, capacitor) tends to float up in voltage as its size (amperage) is increased, which will tend to put strain on the application's voltage regulator (A 1.5 Amp 12V adapter actually puts out 18V).
But a 1.5 Amp adapter on something that calls for 1.0 Amp is perfectly fine. A 500 milliamp adapter on something calling for 200 milliamps is also fine, etc. 10/15/2006 9:59:22 AM |

For the fucking win. I could sit here and debate the time vs money aspect of it with you, but I don't need to because you're so fucking stupid you probably wouldn't understand it if I drew it in fucking crayon.
So in short, shut the fuck up, you goddamned anal retentive ebay cheerleader.
and don't ever fucking PM me a response to a thread like you're trying to troll me, either, because it looks like you got your shit pushed back by at least 2 replies here already.10/15/2006 10:42:54 AM |

^^ Radio Shack does have them in the store.
They're on the bottom rack and right beside the "Sega Genesis" power adapters. How would I know? I went to buy cable plugs and a new snes adapter last saturday.
go to the Cary Crossroads one and tell them what you need. Take you 5 minutes max.
(The radio shack stores in the mall are all going "radio shack store" model. Aka... not carrying parts and crap just what people in a mall want)

blow your shit up. fine w/ me.
you do know that electronics run on smoke, right?
If you let the smoke out of em, they stop werking.
a great way to let the smoke out is to overpower it. power a 9v dc appliance w/ 12v, see what happens. better yet, ill tell ya. it'll werk fine for a few days, and then STOP WORKING.
