MFoolsRun Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 A couple months ago I found a 7800 at Goodwill that, tragically, had no power cable. This is my first and only 7800, so I have no spare parts with which to make it complete. So, does anyone out there have a spare 7800 power cable? Would you be willing to sell or trade it for less than the eBay prices? Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The cheapest thing to do is wire a mono-phono jack (either an in-line or panel mount style) in parallel with the existing power jack. That way you can use a 2600 pws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have absolutely no soldering skills whatsoever, is this something that can be done by a rank amateur? Are there more detailed instructions somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 This one require no solder only micro-clips: http://www.geocities.com/atari7800mod/7800_powermod.html My advice pick up a cheap soldering kit and practice a bit on some junk. Before long you'll be soldering like a pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I believe atariguide.com still sells new repro 7800 power supplies. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
