DELETE LOCK JUNK

Herbalist

Small favor, just wondering if anyone has an extra 6volt DC plug lying around they wouldn't mind sending my way for the cost of shipping or for a trade of a NES cart or so? More specifically a 6v 500mA with positive center polarity. I figure most people have a drawer of these stupid things lying around, I know I do, I just seem to have lost my 6V plug in my last move.
Heres a pic that shows how to see the polarity type:

                                                                                  

EDIT: Anything OVER 500mA is also ok, just nothing under 500mA

Nice Hammer reference! What size does the other end need to be?

Funky headhunter Baby!

The other end needs to be the same size that fits into the back of a nes toaster.
If you find one, me love you long time. I went to a few places around town and they all wanted $20, which is ridiculous. Im too poor, being unemployed sucks

If yours is anything like mine, go to a good will. All my local ones have bins full of them, on certain days they are marked down to 10-30% off which bring them below $1 a piece.

I was thinking of checking out some second hand shops, perhaps I'll hit that up tonight after dinner.

Herbalist

Went to Goodwill, they had about a dozen or so plugs, but alas none of them were 6volt

Herbalist

Who'da thunk one of these would so be hard to find?

VGS_captmorgandrinker

Stupid question, but do you need an actual NES power supply?

Herbalist

No, NES is 9volt, I need a 6v plug for a MIDI controller I have.

VGS_captmorgandrinker

Ah. All I could find were some 12v ones and a 9v.

You might want to double post this in the "Buy Sell and Trade" forum. Maybe somebody will get you some luck there...

Damn, so close

Anything over 500mA is ok, but anything under 500mA is bad for the device

Thanks for looking though

Best Buy sells 300mA and 500mA AC adapters with reversible polarity tips.

There's a switch on the back side of the plug that lets you switch between different voltages. I am pretty sure 6V is one.



BUT....let me look when I get home. I have a ton of electronic stuff (I use to work at BB ) and may just have one laying around.

Herbalist

Thanks for looking. I can find a unit like that locally but I'm just trying to avoid paying $20 for a stupid plug

I looked through all of the bins at the local Goodwill yesterday but came up empty handed, sorry. Good luck!

Awesome. That sucks that they didnt have one, but I really appreciate you remembering and taking the time to scout for one.

I was super bored last night and started going through all kinds of boxes. I opened a box I thought contained only junk, and low-and-behold, a 6V plug was on top!!!!

Thanks to all who helped me in my quest, I had one in my damn closet packed away the whole time! I also found an extra $50 needle for my turntable I thought was lost so Im extra pumped too
