AC Adapter Update! Success **fixed**

I thought my TG16 CDROM base was burnt but it was not. I picked up a second base on ebay with a cdrom included. The guy who sold it said the system was broken when in fact it was not broken it worked right out of the box. It was a Happy Day for the old Windy. After I got that new Dock working I decided to slap the old one together and give it one more try since I had bought a 3rd AC Adapter from Radioshack. Well I was shocked when it fired up. The AC Adapter I picked up is Part #273-358. New at Radio Shack this adapter is 29.99. So Now I have 2 working TG16 Cdroms and it feels great to now have a backup unit.

Radioshack also sells the Tip you will need for the TG16 CDROM and the part Number is
273-345 it is called Adaptaplug "N". The Cost of the Tip is 6.99 You can purchase this online By Clicking here





So with that we have a fix for a blown TG16 CDROM AC Adapter. I would like to thank Nat from PCEnginefx.com for Steering me in the right direction. I was close to giving up on the whole thing and had nightmares about having to buy another Unit for my long beloved TurboGrafx.

**ATTENTION**
Be sure and get the polarity right before attempting to turn on your unit. Make sure that Tip is setup for the correct Polarity which is + o -

SPREAD THE JOY! Keep on Obeying!
