Color TV-Game AC Adapter

The Color TV-Game AC adapter was sold separately from all versions of the Color TV-Game, to keep prices of the individual consoles down. This AC adapter is compatible with most versions of the Color TV-Game, except from the CTG-6S which only runs off batteries and the Computer TV-Game, which was power-hungry enough to require a bulkier AC adapter. There are two versions of this AC adapter; a smaller, older version and a larger version. Both versions function identically and were priced the same.

Input: 100V, 4VA, 50/60Hz
Output: 9V/100mA



CTGA-1255


Computer TV-Game AC Adapter

Input: 100V, 32VA, 50/60Hz

Output:  +5V/1A, +12V/0.3A, -5V/0.2A
