oldjd Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ok,so who sells these for a reasonable price? Looking on Ebay,all I see are prices of 10-16 bucks each,plus shipping Anyone suggest a dealer or wholesaler? Im wanting to buy maybe 10 or more if the price is right. Oh,and I did check at Radio Shack,they were way out in right field,28 bucks and some kind of screwy adaptor for the plug end for another 7..... So,any recommendations?

Stan Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I have one spare one, but I don't know what I'd sell it for. 10-15 sounds pretty reasonable actually, if only to avoid Radio Shack's bloated prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a good spot for power supplies. For the price people want, you can just about get a whole console. Let me know if you find a good source, and I'll do the same for you.

labrat Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Disregard. I had posted a cheap but way-too-low-power model. Edited July 27, 2011 by labrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 9vdc 500ma is best, but 350ma or 800ma will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjd Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Heres the thing.All the ones Im finding are chinese crap.Might be a different,style but still ......so,where are the sellers getting them from.I doubt they have adirect connection to a chinese manufacture And why all of a sudden is there a shortage? The doofus at radio shack,was totally useless.I asked him about universal adaptors,the kind that had 3 different ends,with adjustable voltage settings.....same idiotic look Oh,and when I inquired about some antenna cord with the Rca jacks,I think he went into a trance His partner/co-worker said"yeah,we got that" Brings out a box with 50 foot of flat wire.....................at that point ...I left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari2atari Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Don't even mess around, go straight to the source - - BEST Electronics in California (link) Bradley's site is not known for being navigationally friendly, so here is some direct assistance - - Atari Replacement Power Supplies Bradley does PayPal, but only for orders around $50-$75. The rest of the time, it's check or money order. Basically, you send him a letter with your order and the payment. If it's over $50, maybe $75, you can email him and ask for a PayPal invoice. He's the absolute TOPS in customer service and runs an amazing warehouse. Seriously, the BEST place to get ATARI parts is BEST! He's got all the backstock, and more . . . -a2a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oge Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have X4 Atari 2600 Power Packs which will work everywehere (110/220V) and are of High Quality. The specifications are the following ones: 9VDC@1000mA: More Ampere than needed means more longevity and less heating Switching Technology: The unregulated adaptors sold back in the day (and Chinese product being sold, nowaday as replacements) requires to meet the right Amperage to stabilize the provided current as close as possible to 9VDC. A Switching Adapter will have a 9VDC which is not only stable, but more clean and more filtered. They are very good and, being them tiny and light, Shipping is often cheaper than a heavy AC/DC Adaptor. A lot of my friends used 500mA/300mA cheap adaptors which are only good to make the LM7805 inside an A2600 die sooner. Cheers, Oge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
