We bought an older playstation 1 for the kids, apart for two controls it has no cables. Any advice on what ends the wire that connects the console to the tv should have and where I might be able to get one now, when this console is a bit dated. Thank you. Also, do you think that I can connect the console to the mains using an ordinary tape recorder mains wire?
for the power you can use any cable that has the figure of 8 connection to plug into the playstation, for the tv its sony's own connector, the same one the ps2 uses and the ps3 can also use so if you went into any games store and asked them for a cable to connect your playstation to a standard definition tv then you would most likely be give the right one
