atari 2600 JR?

[sossa]

Hi,

 

First of all i,m from Holland so sorry for the typo's

 

I've found my old atari 2600 JR i guess ( http://www.atariage.com/2600/systems/sys_A...tari2600JrB.jpg )in my parents attic. But i don't find the adapter and conector cable (for connecting to the tv) with it. Now i'm wondering if its possible to use a resent tv connection cable? I've also got a adapter witch multiple conectors on it (one fits in the atari) is it wise and possible offcourse that putting this adapter in the electricityplug that it works? or does that action blow up my atari

 

p.s. It's a Dutch Atari. it's bought in The Netherlands. (dont know if its of any importance.)

 

THNX for the answers

OK, first any computer RF cable (e.g. NES, spectrum, Mega Drive) should be ok to use. I know in America some systems insisted on the atari modulator, but you should be ok.

 

As to the PSU - DON'T USE IT!!!!! Here's why:

 

1. There's a specific voltage and current for the PSU. Yours may have variable voltage, but not likely current (Amps).

 

2. It will be unregulated. You need a regulated supply. This means when you set it to 9V, it could supply only 6, or as much as 18V. Not good!

 

3. The polarity must be set correctly.

 

For a good psu, if you can't find a genuine one (some places sell them such as myatari.com) cheap enough, try an electronics retailer like maplin. e-mail me if you need the specs
