Questions and Answers

Question: What Magnavox Odyssey 2 productsis this power supply compatible with?

Answer: Unregulated AC to AC power supplies aremuch more complicated when compared to regulated AC to DC power supplies thatmost people normally use. All consumer AC to AC power supplies on the markethave unregulated designs, which means there is a load curve from zero load tofull load. For example, the original Magnavox Odyssey 2 AJ9046 power supplylabel on it says 11 volts AC at 0.9 amps, and under real world conditions has ano-load voltage of around 12.65 volts AC. When the Magnavox Odyssey 2 AJ9046 powersupply is under a load from the Magnavox Odyssey 2 system, it is outputtingaround 11.57 volts AC and around 10.76 volts AC when the voice synthesis moduleis connected.

The newest and best official Magnavox Odyssey 2power supply is the AC 9084-BK02. For example, the original Magnavox Odyssey 2 AC9084-BK02 power supply label on it says 12 volts AC at 0.83 amps, and underreal world conditions has a no-load voltage of around 11.78 volts AC. When the MagnavoxOdyssey 2 AC 9084-BK02 power supply is under a load from the Magnavox Odyssey 2system, it is outputting around 10.99 volts AC and around 10.26 volts AC whenthe voice synthesis module is connected. Therefore, there is around a 0.5 (1/2volt) difference when one compares the official Magnavox Odyssey 2 AJ9046 powersupply to the official Magnavox Odyssey 2 AC 9084-BK02 power supply.

The reason we decided not to use a third party12 volt AC 1 amp power supply on the Magnavox Odyssey 2 system is because the 9volt AC 1.2 amp model is a much better match. For example, a top of the linethird party 12 volt AC 1 amp power supply according to the spec sheet has avoltage rating of 15 volts AC when there is no load (zero current draw). Underreal world conditions we measured around 14.92 volts AC when there is no load.However as soon as the Magnavox Odyssey 2 system is drawing a load, the thirdparty 12 volt AC power supply model outputs around 13.64 volts AC and around12.58 volts AC when the voice synthesis module is connected. Therefore, the reasonwe do not offer a third party 12 volt AC 1 amp power supply is because whenunder a load the voltage is between 2.32 to 2.65 volts higher when compared tothe original Magnavox Odyssey 2 AC 9084-BK02 power supply. The following testresults from a top of the line third party 9 volt AC 1.2 amp power supply ismuch closer to the original Magnavox Odyssey 2 AC 9084-BK02 power supply.

This high-end top of the line 9 volt AC 1.2 amppower supply according to the spec sheet has a voltage rating of 11.6 volts ACwhen there is no load (zero current draw). Under real world conditions we measuredaround 11.09 volts AC when there is no load. However as soon as the MagnavoxOdyssey 2 system is drawing a load, this third party 9 volt AC power supplyoutputs 10.38 volts AC and around 9.68 volts AC when the voice synthesis moduleis connected. Therefore, this third party 9 volt AC power supply when under a loadhas only between a 0.58 to 0.61 voltage difference when compared to the officialMagnavox Odyssey 2 AC 9084-BK02 power supply. Even the different models of theoriginal Magnavox Odyssey 2 power supplies have around a 0.5 volt (1/2 volt) differencewhen compared to each other. So overall because of the load curve data, this 9volt AC 1.2 amp third party power supply is a ideal match for ones Magnavox Odyssey2 system. For around a month we did 24 x 7 stress testing on two separate MagnavoxOdyssey 2 systems with the voice module connected while using this 9 volt AC1.2 amp third party power supply. This power supply is a perfect replacement forthe Magnavox Odyssey 2.

Question: Why is the physical sizeof this third-party Magnavox Odyssey 2 power supply larger when compared to thesmaller original power supplies that were offered by Magnavox?

Answer: The original around 40 year old AC toAC power supplies can be made smaller since there was no energy efficiency lawsfor external power supplies back in the 20th Century. This modern thirdparty AC to AC external power supply is level VI compliant. As ofFebruary 10th 2016, per the Department of Energy regulations, all externalpower supplies manufactured for the USA consumer market and imported into theUnited States are required by law to be certified by the DOE to level VI energyefficiency standards. Therefore, to be in compliance with this DOE mandate,level VI power supplies are slightly larger than similar products of lesser efficiency, ashigher-grade core materials are needed to meet the Level VI requirements. This modern level VI power supply also consumes up to25% less power than previous 60 Hertz AC power supplies

However, the included high quality very small female 2.1mm x 5.5mmtomale 3.5mm adapter plug is not UL listed or tested.Keep in mindUL certification is an optional certification in the United States and is notrequired, and in fact no one makes afemale 2.1mm x 5.5mm tomale3.5mm adapter plug that hasreceived UL certification (If a UL listed adapter plug existed we would bundleit with this UL listed power supply).
