Please add one photo of power/av board's traces side. So far seems to be the same as regular Famicom power circuit.

If you can, take my picture and draw an arrow to where it is.

I think the 5. picture?

Yes - picture number 5. Let me see the other side of this board.

It seems it can accept a standard famicom adapter from the power specifications, but I am not sure.
So I once shipped an item with SAK (Below Economy Airmail) instead of SAL or EMS. I had to retrieve the package from the Amazon rainforest. The system was a bit dirty, but still worked. Never ship anything with SAK, because they ship packages from JOS.

Yep - the same as Famicom - center pin negative, barrel positive.

I haven't heard barrel positive used to describe the specs of a famicom power supply before. Can you elaborate?

number47

Barrel = outer ring. The dc-plug is called "barrel connector" or "concentric barrel connectors"

Standard DC plug has negative outer ring and positive center pin/hole/tip.
Megadrive I and Famicom (and 80% of clones) have negative center pin.

Can I use with the Master System 1 (first model) power supply?

number47

Polarity and voltage is correct. If you can fit it in then you are good to go, but in my opinion SMS adapter had a bit smaller plug than sega genesis/megadrive I.
