I'm worried about potential fire hazards. I wonder if I should replace these with third party power supplies or if I should try to recap them. Although I have the original power supply for my N64 and I just picked up a Model 2 Mega Drive (Came with a 32x and I don't have the cable to connect it to my Model 1) and I've only got original supplies for the Model 2/32x, plus an original power supply for my Game Gear. They all use the same plug, and my TV stand only has enough room for one to be plugged in at a time, so I just swap them all out whenever I want to play something different.
I use a third party power supply for my Famicom (AV model) / Super Famicom / PC Engine (CoreGrafx) / Mega Drive (Model 1). Do you use the original power supplies? Do you use third party supplies? Do you refuse to use originals or refuse to use third party? Have you ever recapped one? What are some safety stuff you would recommend watching out for?
