Rik Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 One thing I learned is to label all the various power supplies I have. They can easily be mixed up where you forget what used what. I matched up all my adapters last night but i can't figure out what this adapter powers. It looks like a Flashback power adapter or something similar, or maybe it wasn't used for Atari stuff at all. Anyone know? Thanks Specs Recoton power adapter model# KW10106 Input 120 VDC 60Hz 2W Output 9VDC Current: DC 100mA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It's not an Atari OEM piece. The 9VDC / 100ma rating is appropriate for some of the Pong units but the connector is wrong. That 100ma rating is too low for any of the consoles or computer equipment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Krslam, at least i know it's not for any of my Atari stuff i have. I buy most stuff loose, so it's easy to mix things up if they're not labeled. My Flashback 3 power supply has Atari on it, which is very helpful. A lot of other things like portable DVD players often use adapters not built by the same maker or do not have their company name on them. I just wasn't sure if that's the case with Atari stuff.

JadeETC Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I think it's a charger for a phone cradle. Edited August 25, 2014 by JadeETC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 That charger isn't close to Atari/Pong age, nor does it have enough power to really handle anything vintage. It's almost certainly a phone cradle charger as already mentioned. My drawer of miscellaneous adapters has tons of these kinda plugs. Weird amperage ratings, but usually one of a small handful of connectors. This one is quite possibly the most common connector of all time, so if you can find something that can live on only a trickle of power, it's handy to keep around. Some portable famiclones and the like may work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
