SNES power supply pin replacement?

[wargod]

Is there a place that sells the pins that are prone to breaking off on the back of the SNES where the power supply plugs in?

Nope but you mught be able to switch the whole power plug connector on the mobo...

One trick thos is to use resitor leg and push that as replacement then solder the another end to orginal pin. I beleive that TMEE used also sewing machine tip. Just cut the tip to right size and solder the same way.

I have heard of people buying a generic DC jack and soldering it to the motherboard, then using a generic (or sega!) AC adapter.

Well the best solution is to replace the old dc jack with 5.5*2.1 tip dc socket and use any 12dc with normal 5.5mm plug tip. You can find 12v 5.5mm tip power adapters in any local market or electronics shop.
