Apologies if there is an existing thread. Was wondering if somebody could link me to a good rgb scart cable for a Japanese sega Saturn on eBay ? There are quite a few on there was having a hard time making out which ones were decent And could somebody point me in the right direction for a step down transformer ? Can not seem to find one on eBay . I heard maplins is my best bet, do I need to give any information on which model Saturn I have ? Thank you very much , trying to help my cousin get his console up and running  Cheers |

Pretty much any stepdown will do, the Saturn doesn't draw that much power.

Rob Webb is the man for cables, accessories etc. Any step down will do - as long as it says it lets you use USA and/or JPN hardware with a UK power supply. www.consolegoods.co.uk |

Wow, that's a nice converter but 300W is serious overkill if you're just running one Saturn off it. The Saturn pulls at maximum 15W, in fact when I metered my Model 2 JP saturn many moons ago it was pulling more around the 12-13W mark. One of these cheap and cheerful jobs is more than adequate: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380969829395Of course if you plan on running multiple 110V systems in the future then by all means go for the one linked by nugat |

Does anyone have any experience with one of those cheap and cheerful US £7.50 stepdowns that mick_aka posted to? I went SUPER cheap (£1.50), the thing rattles and works for about half an hour, but heats up and just loses connection with the Saturn, which then reboots every ten seconds.

I have experience with one of those now- I bought one and it works fine. It's made by Mercury, been on for a good 3 hours and isn't too warm at all. It's just got the holes for US/JPN 2 thin flat prongs, and won't fit the round EU type cables. £7.50 on eBay, UK seller, arrived in about 4-5 days. Hope this helps anybody.

This tread has answered two questions I had. Also, can the same AV leads be used for both PAL and NTSC consoles? Or are there issues?
