Megadrive 1 50/60 hertz switch

			I have just purchased a PAL MegaDrive I and a Mega CD I. I have noticed that the Mega CD games I have burnt and tested have the usual sound sync problem....which I have been told can be fixed with a 50/60 hertz switch on the megadrive. What I would like to know is where I can get a hold of one of these in the UK or part numbers so I can buy the components myself..... Hope someone can please help me with this problem and any recommendations will be grateful.

			you just need a small switch and a few lengths of wire any model or electronics shop should have them, check the misc section there is some instructions there for doing it

			You need a single-pole double-throw break-before-make switch. Basically one that connects either pin '1' or pin '3' to pin '2' depending on which way it is thrown. They generally look like this: \¦/ (Possible positions) ------------ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ----------- ¦ ¦ ¦ 1 2 3 (Well, it'll do )
