I will add, that this is not the original power supply that came with FRANKENSTEIN. It is the exact same type, but not the original one which came with the machine.
(serial numbers differ). I take pride in making sure any machine i purchase has the same set of original boards, but this is the one exception.
Andy shld fix it no problems, but it pays to have a spare, espescially with so many machines here. I have boxes n boxes of spare stuff for all my different titles, but a power supply for a SEGA wasnt something i have needed til now.
It is great to see that a brand new 2011 model can be purchased for a cheap $129 plus postage from Marco Spec.
Hopefully in time, all replacement boards will come down in price, but $129 seems reasonable considering only second hand units would be around, if any.
