Atari Video Music Power Supply Question

[jaegodylan]

Hello

 

I recently found an old Video Music. The problem is the power cord was literally chewed off! I found a photo of one and am looking for a modern replacement. Any clues?

 

Input 120 VAC 60 HZ 6W

output 16.6 VAC and 100 MA

 

 

Also what video convertor do I need?

 

Thanks!

Joe

There's no reason why you could not wire the existing power cord back together either inside the unit or outside. It's AC so the polarity of the wires is not an issue.

 

RF connection to the cable input of your TV (just like the 2600).

What a strange thread this is.

 

-- Original post is made in March 2008

-- Nobody responds to him until April 2009, more then a year later, at which time the OP is LONG gone.

-- Someone decides to bring this old thread back from the dead over 18 months later!

I too need to find more info out about this. Be it known that it is NOT TWO WIRES coming off. There are THREE. Ground, and two others. Not sure if they are split 8.3vac or what... can someone open theirs up and take readings off the center and end wire AC? It's a clip on the mobo, easy to remove.

Looking at the schematics on Atari Museum (Side A) the transformer output has a center tap. There's nothing on the schematic to say otherwise, so it could only be assumed that it is a straight split of the voltages (8.3V 0V 8.3V).
