They're not too horribly priced at radio shack.  Can't remember the exact tip, but if you take in the unit most shacks have the test plugs where you can figure it out.  Once you have the plug figured out you just have to figure out the polarity (should be right on the unit) and the voltage/amperage.  I believe you're looking for a 12v, 1.5a adapter.  (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

If you're not comfortable with going the radio shack route, I can probably custom make you an adapter that would work.  I'd just have to pull my TG-CD unit out of the attic to test it on.  Been a while since I played on it, the duo-r is a lot more convenient.

Thanks super much mang,  I'll take it into the Shack next week.  as long as I can get a decent AC at an ok price.  I should be ok. 

This Turbo CD route is getting pretty tiring though. lol- thinking about just saving up for a good Duo-R console sometime this summer.

Maybe.. we'll see....

Quick question, I'm looking at this mod:

http://www.multimods.com/SlotMod1.html

Is it really necessary to cut the pins? Can't I just wire it up? As for an 8DPT switch, the "HuCard" pins are the short ones and the "PCB" pins are the long ones, correct?

Yup, you really have to cut the pins.  And yes, you're correct about the HuCard pins vs/ PCB pins.
