Adaptors I have an old sega genesis (model MK-1631) that I found in my storage however the adaptor wasn't there with it so I would like to know what the polarity is on the adaptor originally was so that I may purchase a new one. It just seems to be such a waste as I also found a ton of games with it and the kids really want to get it going.

This is an old machine. It comes with all the adaptors to hook the 1/4" water line to the faucet. You need to remove the arator from the faucet to hook it up and use the adaptors to match your faucet.
Well the RF Adaptors are not that great for the sega genny they seem to fail more times then not and if been sitting rolled up in a ball I would have to run a conclusion that the RF adaptor is pooched.
Another idea would pulling the top of the genny shell off and looking at where the RF jack is on the mainboard and looking to see if its burnt in any spots this could be the issue as well.
alot of people would still say its a cleaning issue either the game or the system needs cleaning but if you have done that already have you tryed using rubbing alcohal on a q-tip and run it along the carts contacts?
I ushally have a modified genesis laying around with A/V cables to be used instead of the RF cables that is another method you could try to if you into soldering at all or feel safe doing it. let me tell you besides fixing the controller port issue on a dreamcast the genesis AV mod is the easyest out there to do if you need or would like more info on this as well let me know and I will help you out
Also what model genny do you have model 1, 2 or 3?
well a sega genesis there are 3 different models all either using RF adaptors or AV cables
if RF adaptor please follow this
plug the RF adaptor into the back of your tv the coaxal cable for your tv service ushally runs through this, and plug it into the the back and you can also plug the service into the RF adaptor for the sega genesis. plug the power in and make sure you are on the correct channel (3or4)
If you are using AV cables please advise and I will post the following for that.
don't panic
sometimes the LED goes on the Megadrive
so try to tune it in anyway. (clean a game and put it in)
also sometimes you can get a "Dry joint" at the power port at the back of the megadrive.
this is fixed by unscrewing the megadrive and a little solder on the each of the 3 joints.
