Build Power Base Converter?

Post by fitterhans »

I was reading about the Power Base Converter, and was wondering if anyone had every seen a diy guide for building it. Since the hardware is contained within the Genesis, is was wondering if it was a relatively simple hardware device or not. Any thoughts?

You can buy one from tototek or get an official one from ebay. You could probably build one yourself but it would probably be more expensive or complicated getting all the parts.

Ok, the circuit board looks a tad more complex then I imagined it would be from the pictures on tototek.com I would be am interesting project, but may be beyond my skill level.

I got one back in the day for like 10 bucks, i can't imagine they're that expensive to acquire.
