hey everyone i recently aquired a box full of random video game items for $35 australian, in this box is an atari 2600 jr with controls and an rf box but no power adapter, i was wondering is the atari 2600 compatible with any other consoles power adapter such as maybe a genesis? or will i need to go out and buy an official atari adapter?
Thanks =D
(btw i did try googling this before i came to you and didnt find too much help so i thought id ask you guys aswell)

The 2600 has a weird power jack that looks like a headphone plug. You pretty much need a 1st party adaptor. Try Best Electronics.

Does it not specify on the bottom of the console or hear the plug?
The US 2600 was 9 volt DC, 500 mA, positive tip through a plug that's just like a mono mini headphone plug. Most multi-voltage plugs should handle it. I use one that's only 300 mA and it works fine. But I don't know if the Jr is different.
