cybercylon Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Do it yourself is my opinion. Having some available through the Atariage store is worth thinking about. I am sure Albert can help with that and my guess is that they would sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 SNIP... Now one could hardware an optional external on/off switch with 3 prong power cord outlet but then one would need to mount the power supply in a special case. If they would just make one a little bit more expensive with a built in on/off switch and AC power cord socket then that would be ideal. They are industrial power supplies designed to mount in an enclosure with other components. That is why they are semi-open frame. It wouldn't take much to mount it in a vented enclosure and put a switch on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malarrya Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Okay, great, thanks for your opinions. I've sent the PCB data to multiple production facilities to get the best price. Once I know it, I'll setup the preorder page - and then we're off to go. BTW: If you happen to visit the GamesCom in Cologne this year: I'll be there and have the adapter with me I am so looking forward to this adapter that I've been holding off getting any new ColecoVision games. I have about 40 games already but there's about another 10 that I would like. Is there some sort of waiting list or reserve page I can sign up with?

bradhig1 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I got one of those Germen ones off Ebay and it works fine. UL approved as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCurlyBard Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So, wait, what the Roller Controller needs it's own power brick? The same one as the console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The roller controller uses a daisy chain, so you plug the AC adapter into it's cable, and then that cable goes into the system. This upcoming adapter though could probably still work on it. https://www.dragonbox.de/en/703-colecovision-usb-power-plug-will-be-released-summer-2018-ac-adaptors.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCurlyBard Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Ah got you, that's not so bad, I'm probably getting a roller soon but didn't realise it needed any kind of extra supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTV1080P Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) I got one of those Germen ones off Ebay and it works fine. UL approved as well. The advantage of the original UL listed ColecoVision power supply from Coleco is that there is no adapter plug involved since its built in. I see the one being sold in Germany uses a DIN style power supply that plugs into a custom made 4 pin adapter plug. While the power supply might be UL approved the adapter plug might not be. The advantage of the ColecoVision USB style power converter adapter that is scheduled to be released soon, is that one can use just about any brand and model of USB power supply including UL listed models. While the USB adapter plug power converter well not not be UL listed (UL is a optional saftey certification in the United States and is not required). The USB adapter plug power converter is suppose to have a official FCC approval which is required on all or most electronic devices imported to the USA or manufactured in the United States. Also the USB adapter plug power converter well be CE approved which is a safety certification for Europe.

Spector Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Shouldn't be too long now hopefully- I'm bumping the topic up to try and stop me from missing out on ordering one when it finally comes through. I've been looking forward to getting one for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDragon17 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 As the production has been started, preordering has now also started! As soon as I get an exact date from the production facility, I'll let you know - but it should be around December 2018. Price is around 35 EUR (without VAT), but you can get a discount ordering 2 - 4 and an even higher discount if you order 5 or more.

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I got your email notification today that they were in stock so I went to order one, but the shipping to Canada was going to be $52 CAD ($40.79 USD)! :-( Do you have any Canadian or US distributors?
