What is the resistor ohm/voltage value (there is only one inside to make it far easier) inside the Sega - Genesis model 1 console AC/DC Power Supply Unit ( model # 1602-1) ?

Question

I have to replace the 3300 uF/16 volt electrolytic capacitor & the resistor inside my Sega - Genesis model 1 consoles AC/DC Power Supply Unit model # 1602-1 because the voltage is at 13.93 volts instead of 10 volts like it should be. I couldn't find the ohm / voltage value code for the resistor by looking up the color code online & don't know why, unless I am just having one of those days. Can someone lend a hand & help me out with this? I provided a picture to help find out what it is exactly but the picture didn't come out to clear with the provided lighting in the room. The identifying color bands on the resistor are Gold, Brown, Green, & Purple. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. "Genesis does what Nintendon't"

Hi Dan,

I do not think the voltage difference is a problem. This is an unregulated voltage supply and as such it should show a higher voltage so that a regulator down the line has some room to regulated down to a regulated voltage. If you lower it you will interfere with the proper operation. Is the unit working at this time at the 13.9 volts?
