Replacement NES Power Supply recommendations

Anyone have one in particular? The Amazon reviews are all over the map (at best).

They run on almost anything. Back when the NES was still the ultimate console, I tried one of those multi-voltage ac-dc adapters while Megaman 3 was running. I tried every voltage it could do. On low levels the colors got dull, and changed hue, on higher levels the colors got bright and then at the highest level the screen went white and the system reset. I still play games on that old Nintendo - The only thing I ever did to it was replace the 72-pin connector. They're built like Tonka toys. I even managed to get it to run off a 9-volt battery for a while - The battery got hot.

Interesting. I have a random AC adapter that's 8vdc instead of 9vdc I wonder if that would be close enough.

Per my power brick post:

NES Model 1 US
9v AC, 1.3A
Note this is AC. The NES steps the power to 5v DC internally and pretty much any 5-9v DC with a plug that fits will work as long as it provides enough amperage. This is why you should never use an official NES power brick with anything else as it will fry, but a Genesis brick will work fine on a NES.

No kidding? I have Genesis power bricks all over the place thanks very much
