huskers1987 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I found an atari 7800 system at a garage sale in the original box but it doesnt have a power supply cord, can I go to radio shack and maybe find something that works? I think the joysticks are with it,I will have to check, IF anyone is interested in this please email me. Thanks............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The connector is proprietary, radio shack doesn't carry them. I got someone here to make a new receptacle for me. But if you're gonna sell it I don't know if you'd want to bother with it. Still have to test it, though. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovalbugmann Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Your going to have to find one on ebay or here, like I had to do when I recently got a 7800 console. The one you need is black, has a slightly rounded case, and a small blue tip. Or their $15 from best-electronics-ca.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as_the_gavel_falls Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Thanks Zwackery, hopefully he will buy it from me I only had these made because the 7800 is a killer system that died an early death in part due to that proprietary connector.

Zwackery Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 People sometimes tend to go a little ga-ga over original stock Atari-branded 7800 power supplies - and if you are a completist, sure, buy yourself one and enjoy, I would - but if someone finds a lonely 7800 in the wild without a power supply, yours are the best solution: guaranteed to work and at a very reasonable price. I really like the 7800 (heck, now I have 3), yes, even the Pro-Line joysticks. Well, Karateka makes me want to pull my hair out, but it has plenty of really solid titles.

Nathan I bet that means the weird-ass connector on the Sears Video Arcade II is proprietary as well, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
